Dear Yuri:
The drawings are TIFF files. As I understand it, the Japanese patent office was using TIFF and the US PTO just followed their usage. In my opinion, PDF should have been used for everything. So, one needs a reading-program that is able to display TIFF files. I use Quick View Plus. A look here http://www.uspto.gov/patft/help/images.htm will find what the PTO describes as "free, unlimited TIFF plug-ins." 400 dpi PDF files would have been much better for everyone! Smaller files, better looking pages, and searching capability. Let us know how things worked out. 73 Mac N8TT -- J.

Yuri, K3BU How is it I get the feeling they are not trying to develope the remotely tunable antenna. Seem to me someone just wants to have the patent on the idea |
How is it I get the feeling they are not trying to develope the remotely tunable antenna. Seem to me someone just wants to have the patent on the idea Huh? They developed it, making it and selling like a hotcakes. That's the idea, to have a patent on the idea for terrific product! Yuri, K3BU |

Yuri, K3BU No, the idea is to invent something, make it, sell it like hotcakes, and then sell the business when all the me-too's show up. The patent is just a very time-consuming & expensive official license to sue whoever appears to be improperly competing with you. Your lawyer may not help you with circuit design, but he will advise that you go for a patent. Ed wb6wsn |

In some situations it is worth it (Laser) in many situations patents remain unutilized. Often it is deterrent to me-too's and if you have a lawyer in the family, it could be reasonable. Yuri |

As for circuit design advice, my lawyer could do that. He also had degrees in chemistry and mechanical engineering. However, he never intruded into anything but the legal claims language which he could craft with the baroque style of the best of them. I think I average 200 for each of my patents. 73's Richard Clark, KB7QHC |
