eGO - who is the patent holder?

[BuzzKill]

Whether some one designed it first does NOT stop someone from attempting a patent , take the telephone 2 patents were issued the same day first to the punch WINS ! Bell won by HOURS .

IF the prior Art were present to the public for a certain amount of time then it is possible for the original designer to claim that it was public knowledge. THIS IS IN THE USA !!! , an over seas patent is TOTALLY different .

I am NOT a patent lawyer but have gone through the process many times , ( disclaimer to the accuracy of what I presented ! )
Lawyer speak !!

We have asked the 2 suppliers involved in this to not discuss this issue here on the forum and while some of our members are attorney's any opinion rendered would be based on incomplete information.

Given those circumstances I am closing out this thread.
