Thanks!
Also: Wow! So many patents without a prior art date or priority date, and in fact not even a Google Patents page, I didn't expect Google Patents to have such massive blind spots (with fairly large countries such as India and Mexico being largely in the blind spot). To deduce the countries that are "unsafe", you can use the following chart to convert two-letter code to country: https://www.searchapi.io/docs/parame...ents/countries The exception is the "AP" code, which is a regional intellectual property organization/office (kind of like the EPO, but for some African countries), so, to find the countries that the AP patents affect, you have to use the following list: https://www.aripo.org/member-states And then there is this "ET PT173 B1" patent, which I have no clue what it corresponds to (and any kind of Googling I did and any searches I did on Espacenet turned up nothing), so if anyone knows, please post. -- When it comes to patents with a known prior art date or priority date, the only ones before March 2005 are the following: And I find those two weird. Their filing date (2003 year) implies they should have already expired, but VIA-LA lists them as non-expired. Weird. |

More information is needed. It's possible they're something like a submarine patent. It's one where issuance and publication is delayed.
One of the MY ones is filed 2003 but not published until 2010. Looking at a CY one, filed 2011, published 2015. Will be interesting to see if people decide they don't care anymore, or if they want 100% global publications to be clear first. If the latter, it's going to be a long wait because there are many countries in the world that haven't had a filing yet. |

https://henrygoh.com.sg/10-things-yo...grant-process/ "All Malaysian patents with filing date on or after 01 August 2001 have a maximum term of 20 years, calculated from the filing date. " There should be no "submarine patents" for patents filed after 01 August 2001 in MY. I mean, that Malaysian patent you filed in 2003 expired sometime in 2023, right? Yet the ones I mentioned show up as non-expired in VIA-LA's list. Weird. |
