I was told that Ronald Carter patented the Ring Camera and CPI System. I asked who holds the patent and a different name comes up.

I'm looking to build my own self-stabilizing skateboard (one wheel). Do I infringe on future motion's patents by doing so? I'm gonna develop the technology myself, although the premises will be similar to those of the... Read more »
I am pleased that you care about avoiding the patent rights of others. However, the short answer is that there is no way to give you a useful answer in this forum.

Our tech uses similar electronics to patent #20210022609, with the addition of piezoelectric power supply. This is our first experience of IP law as a start-up so I would be grateful for a run-through of the legal processes required.
-Would be possible to develop similar tech for market... Read more »
Let me help get you oriented.
1) 20210022609 is NOT an issued US patent. It is publication of an application for patent. It is part of a family of patent applications filed by Northwestern University including a PCT application which is the front end for many patent systems in the world... Read more »
we have made few modifications in NA fixator to make it easy and effective to use as distractor for closed IL nailing of femur and tibia and want to get its patent number but dont know the procedure, pl guide
From your question, my sense is that you think that the patent process is much like seeking a trademark or a copyright where there is a registration and you get a number assigned to you.
That is not how it works.
For a patent to be granted on a particular claim, there are many... Read more »
External jets face opposite direction operated with water. Used on sludges 2 clean & for hydro excavation.
You need to repost this question as a trademark question so that is is presented to trademark attorneys as patent attorney work with inventions not names.
There is currently a patent for an item that has interchangeable heads that screw on. Can I create the same type of product with interchangeable heads if it attaches in a different way?
First, I commend you for giving thought about whether your proposed course of action will be beyond the scope of the patent rights of another.
Now to the question of whether you can do what you propose. The answer is it depends. It really depends on what specifically is in the claims of... Read more »
I have an idea that I'm working on that will have to be patented, but i am reluctant about asking people with the knowledge to build the idea for assistance as they may steal it and create it themselves. Is there a type of disclosure document that I can use to protect my idea?
I am not licensed in Illinois so you need to ask a local lawyer. But you should ask to have a Non-Disclosure Agreement that you use when you are vetting vendors and a more detailed agreement that you use when you hire a vendor.
The second agreement needs to include many things. For the... Read more »

(2) how can we recover the patent right, if we forgot to pay the annual fee.
This is a shame. It indicates a breakdown in the teamwork between a patent attorney and a client.
Let me answer your question in pieces.
Patent term is more confusing than it should be. The one part that is simple, is that patent term is not a function of the technology. There... Read more »
Patents cannot be renewed after the end of their full term (in contrast to trademarks and copyrights).
To be clear, a patent that goes abandoned early for failure to pay a maintenance fee can be revived if the failure was unintentional.
To the extent that one patent has expired,... Read more »
He told me he was it and the only way I would be able to get it is by changing my address on my driver’s license.

I left a company.
Now, i see that they register a patent in USA, after I left the company. I never give any permission to register the patent in US territory.They can regist a patent, where I am as inventor, in USA without my permission?
If you were employed to invent things, then yes.
They can file without your signature if you were under an obligation to assign your rights. They have to jump through some hoops. My memory is that they need to reach out to get your signature but can proceed if you refuse. I have not... Read more »

Patent term is more confusing than it should be. The one part that is simple, is that patent term is not a function of the technology.

Good luck.
