[AccessD] OT: Database Patent

Interesting.  Not sure exactly what a Perpetual Motion Simulator is, but I will say that the US Patent Office specifically excludes Perpetual Motion Machines from patentable material for the very reason you give.  But if a Perpetual Motion Simulator can dodge that bullet, and assuming it has some real utility, then I would be glad to work on a patent for that.  It might break the monotony of all the telecon patents I work on.  My contact info is below if you want to discuss it further.  Thanks!

So Jack,

If the device I'm building...a Perpetual Motion Simulator(has to be Simulator because by definition perpetual motion is impossible)...actually works...would you be the guy I need to patent this thing?

Thanks,

Mark A. Matte

P.S...Only problem is that if it works...either the government or Oil Industry might have us...eliminated...lol...still interested?
