The topic and summary is BS, he's filing a patent, completely different from receiving one. Anyone can file a patent on whatever they want, repost this drivel if he actually gets it.

The whole patent process needs to be completely wiped out and started over with some common sense rules in place. It's such a joke these days that people patent an idea but never do anything to make it a reality. Then when someone else makes something they go sue them for patent infringement. Whatever.
Why work hard for your money when you can sue someone who worked hard for theirs?

I agree. I think patents with a short lifespan are the way to go. They only hold our soceity back.
This thread is useless, someone filed a patent, whoop-de-do (sp?). Lets at least rant about issue patents. People here seem to think that because this was filed there is a chance in hell it will be granted, it doesn't work like that (at all).

The originally posted story from July 2, 2001 claims a patent has been registered.
Here is another article from July 2, 2001 that claims an Innovation Patent was issued even though the Commissioner of Patents Vivienne Thom stated:
In this article from July 3, 2001, it is stated the Australian patent office issued the Innovation Patent but the patent would be difficult to uphold if tested in court. It is suggested the term "Innovation Patent" is misleading.
This copy of the wheel Innovation Patent document shows the Innovation Patent for the wheel was granted by the Australian Patent Office and further states
This forum post states there is a difference between an Australian "patent lawyer" and a "patent attorney" but does not explain the difference. This forum post further quotes an article that is no longer archived that briefly states the difference between an Australian standard patent, innovation patent, and petty patent.
The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) does not operate in this manner with multiple levels of patents and any similar issues derived from such multiple patent levels would be improperly inferred. However, it is well known through the industry that ambiguous, gray areas do exist in the real world where black and white positions are seldom available. These articles are merely exposing the Australian Patent Office's imperfect attempt to address some of these gray areas.

Really? As far as I can see he is just a patent lawyer who is afraid of losing a large chunk of his income.
He isn't doing this for the good of the system he is doing it because these new laws might make him slightly less rich.
