I invented this , The patent company I used, did me out of it a few
years ago.

So a warning.. if you want to register/Patent or Copyright a design
then make sure you know the company before you give them any details,
it does not matter how big they seem to be or if they advertise on
satellite or other media.
The tactic they used on me was to delay my correspondence with them
so that they could then take out one themselves.

The first one I designed/made displayed the time , the second one
displayed the word "FORD", of course now things have moved forward
a little and a little more sophisticated applications are available.

if you invented it and can prove take them to court.



Eli Whitney tried that.

It didn't work.

John Mullen


he made up for it by stealing the idea for the cotton gin.


Still, it makes the point it is not easy nor cheap to fight such
cases in court,
As a matter of fact, I am involved with a case, (of all things an
'intellectual' copyright case), with a big electronic Co.INC. company
in America, The UK branch of that company used the might of the
American co. inc. with the law suit. Had the law been adhered to then
they would loose their case, but $$$ is the bottom line, and the
co. inc, will spend years and run up the bill on the small UK company
to bankrupt them before the case would come to court. As is the UK
company in this case has dropped out and a big Company in china then
dealt with it and even they decided that it was not going to be viable
so they surrendered to the American Co inc.

Such massive companies know full well that if any company engages in
more than two replies they can close them down purely on the basis of
cost, so they do not even have to win the case.
Intellectual copyright in the UK is still so much an unknown and the
lawyers and courts still do not understand it.
For example un the UK it is unlawful to copy a product but, perfectly
legal to make a 100% identical one.

Been there, done that.
