In Reply to: RE: How does it work? What does it do?If posted by fmak on March 23, 2012 at 22:59:47:
They do not examine IF it works, only the mechanism used to make the claim. The combination of parts called out in the patent that contribute to the end claim is the subject. If no other combination of parts exist in relation to the same claim then patent granted.
The checks and balances are....if John Doe tries it and says it does not work as claimed. John can re-design [reverse engineer] the product and get his own patent as long as his combination of parts are different enough from the original. Many people/companies are forced to patent many variations of a product to prevent this. You especially have to make sure you patent key-features of the product so that without those features any new product by someone else will not be able to work. This will force John Doe to come up with a completely new design.
