Speaking of the ignition the patent I applied for was a real up hill battle.
    The first patent attorney I hired, despite having a degree in electronic
    engineering,  was not competent in that field. I had to fire him and find
    another. The second called himself the patent king. He did a good patent
    but then he dropped the ball. The patent office rejected it due to minor
    drawing issues and name discrepancy by leaving out my middle name on
    some of the forms but not others.

    The patent office has a policy of only notifying the  attorney that has
    power of attorney and not the inventor. This happened in April 2015.

    The patent king did nothing and did not notify me. Simple problems to fix.
    I was under the mistaken impression that every thing was OK and the patent
    office was doing their thing. Finally I got worried and called the
    patent office.

    They confirmed that the patent was filled but since I did not have
    power of attorney they could not tell me anything about it despite being
    the inventor of record. I had to file a form to make myself the attorney.
    I fixed the minor problems and the patent office revived the patent
    application. A year and a half lost. Still the original date of the patent
    application applies.

I have a patent on programing computers that was manufactured
    by Hewlett Packard without my consent. I won the case but again the
    patent attorney
    defending me did not do a very good job on net monetary compensation to
    me. It
    is essential that one obtains an injunction on manufacturing immediately.

    One is very vulnerable to incompetent or scam artist patent attorneys.
    My advice is get some how too books and learn how to do it your
    self.

    Chapter 2 lists these quotes:

    Don’t bury your invention:
    “The man with a new idea is a crank – until the idea succeeds.” Mark Twain,

    “For an idea that does not at first seem insane, there is no hope.”    Albert Einstein

    “Opportunities are seldom labelled.”   John Shedd

    Without inventors and inventions, we would still be living the way we lived 50,000 years ago.

    These books are also in libraries.

    Rolf Pfeiffer

    So true Rolf. Part of the requirements are the capitalistic form of Government.
    The lure of making a lot of money on your ideas is essential.

    I can't think of anything useful having been invented in Russia.
    The creative people like Sikorsky  and  Alexander P. de Seversky left in the 1920's.

    "During the 1917 Revolution , Seversky was stationed in St. Petersburg  and remained in uniform at the request of the commander-in-chief of the Baltic Fleet. In March 1918, he was selected as an assistant naval attaché in the Russian Naval Aviation Mission to the United States. Seversky departed via Siberia and while in the U.S., decided to remain there rather than return to a Russia torn apart by the Revolution.
    Settling in Manhattan, he briefly operated a restaurant."

    He went on to design the P47 more or less. He applied for and was granted several aviation patents.

    Unless we turn this nation around the same thing will happen here.

I could not log on for some reason.

Are you suggesting that the Russian invented the satellite or liquid
fueled rocket? The Russians had German rocket engineers working
for them.

They probably went to the same talk by Wernher von Braun that I
attended in the late 40's  with my mother at the National Academy
of Science in Washington DC. My mother took me to the talk as she worked for the National Academy of Science at the time. It was not opened to the public.

 Wernher was advocating everything from satellites to interplanetary travel.
I am sure the Russian diplomatic core were there. This was long before
they put up their Sputnic.

Our government ignored him.

Robert Hutchings Goddard invented the liquid fuel rocket in the US in the 1930's.


The commie schools nation wide (and I am sure up in Canada) are not doing a good job teaching the evils of communism.

Stalin executed three quarters of his intelligent people in the late
30's as they started to doubt Communism.

It is now treated as just another political system. MY ASS :-)
