See: Application Number 11/655899 or 20080231540 at: http://appft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2 FPTO%2Fsearch-adv.html&r=1&f=G&l=50&d=PG01&S1=655899&OS=655899&R S=655899 Sorry about the giant URL. If that wraps or doesn't work, try: http://appft.uspto.gov/netahtml/PTO/srchnum.html and type in either application number. If you're going to refer to your patent application by number, don't forget the 11/ prefix. For some odd reason, I can't see the five attached figures. Probably my fault (or Quicktime). I suspect you may have some problems with claim 3. "3. A clustered array according to claim 1 where the radiating elements of said cluster have random three dimensional Cartesian directional positions of placement with respect to each other and the surface of the earth." I don't think you can patent a random collection of elements as it would be classed as too broad a claim. That would encompass all antennas that were NOT designed according to non-random calculations. While the use of randomness is possible (and common) in patents, I've noticed that they always disclose the method by which the randomness is achieved. I would be interesting in seeing a photo, NEC2 deck, and test results for your random element antenna. Take you time, no hurry. -- Jeff Liebermann 150 Felker St #D http://www.LearnByDestroying.com Santa Cruz CA 95060 http://802.11junk.com Skype: JeffLiebermann AE6KS 831-336-2558 |
