Press Release Takes 33 Years to Issue(Spoof)
Have a new idea for an energy related patent ? Dusty cold fusion patent never issued? Looks like the U.S. Patent Office wants to help. This news item from 1975 was spotted on Mother Earth News by a Motor reader. They must have fixed a bottleneck and this press release was finally issued.
IF YOU'RE AN INVENTOR TINKERING WITH ENERGY-RELATED IDEAS, you'll be glad to know that the U.S. Government Patent Office will give your application "top priority" status. Isaac Fleischmann, Director of Information for the Office, says that-while the normal processing time for patent reviews is 21 months-the waiting period for "inventions in all aspects of the energy field" has been slashed to 6 months. If you'd like more information, write the Commissioner of Patents and Trademarks, Office of Information Services, Washington, D.C. 20231.
