Antenna patent, (Fluid motions Steppir Antenna)
I notice that the STEPPIR antenna patent is still "Pending"
I thought that "pending" meant that the patent has been awarded and awaiting printing! Fluid motions have been stating Patent pending for more than a few months ( year)now and I have yet to see a release. Anybody have any info on this ? I also noticed that another thread on unconventional antenna design that the news release also stated "patent pending"! Has " patent pending "replaced the term "patent applied for" or has the revised patent procedure and the USPTO fallen flat on its face ? Art |

Sometimes companies use "patent pending" to discourage people from copying the
design when in fact no application has been filed. If you ask for a copy of the application, application number, etc. and they refuse to give it to you, that could be a tipoff... |

Art If so, "patent applied for" must be _really_ old -- "patent pending" showed up on all sorts of devices as far back as the '40s. |
