gkargreen,
Ah- I may have made this sound grander than it is, as these are provisional applications for my own projects, of which there are a considerable number. These are considered preparatory and the hope is that they will represent sufficient protection during a development / funding phase.
I've been doing my own searches too- which seems more difficult to do well. In 2009, after what I believed to be a careful search, I worked on a project for months and only when doing application exhibits found an astoundingly similar design patented two years previously. This was a surprise as it was a complex and somewhat counter-intuitive device. It seems that the unconventionality confused the search- difficult to categorize.
A friend who is retired from NASA and who has several Patents is advising and there is much to be learned from doing searches and reading other applications. Even reading the details of infringement lawsuits is informative.
I've often wondered how professionals learn this as it requires a combination of high density technical, descriptive, and legal thinking.
Required forum audio content> quite a few audio projects including a couple that are vacuum tube related.
Cheers,
Bambi B
