European Patent Granted for Francesco Piantelli’s LENR Process

January 18, 2013 By admin

The European Patent office has granted a patent for the Francesco Piantelli’s invention of process for producing energy from a nickel-hydrogen reaction.

European Patent Office published the certificate on January 16th, 2013. All documents associated with this application can be found here.

https://register.epo.org/espacenet/application?number=EP09806118&lng=en&tab=doclist

Sergio Focardi, who assisted Andrea Rossi in the development of the E-Cat had worked with Piantelli in the study and development of LENR from nickel-hydrogen processes.

So what? The patent office does not examine whether the applied-for invention actually works or not.

The criteria for patentability are, by legal definition (in this case, Articles 52 - 54 of the European Patent Convention):

1. Novelty (i.e., not formerly described in any *one* single disclosure.)

2. Non-obviousness (i.e., not being able to be derived from a *combination* of prior disclosures.)

3. Industrial applicability (i.e., can conceivably be manufactured or used in industry - this does *not* mean it actually works as claimed. This criterium is more concerned with excluding certain inventions - such as medical procedures - from being patentable.)

The patent office does not care whether or not it works. That’s for the *market* to decide.

But since this great invention has been - as per your prior proclamations pimping Rossi - creating unlimited free energy for over a year now....oh, wait...it hasn’t, actually?

Oh, my. As Reagan once said, “there you go again...”

***Typical personal attack

A.k.a., statement of fact.

How about a comment on Articles 52 - 54 of the EPC, and how the granting of a patent for that sham is utterly irrelevant?

[Kevmo]

a.k.a., a typical personal attack. Care to add anything constructive to the scientific & engineering process?

[Moltke]

As your top post contains no scientific or engineering material, I could not add anything in that regard even if I wanted to.

How about a comment *from you* on Articles 52 - 54 of the EPC, and how the granting of a patent for that sham is utterly irrelevant?

Because *that* is what this thread is about. And *you* posted it.

[Kevmo]

Thanks for bumping the thread

LENR is an interesting subject. Your comments about the requirements for a patent from the European Union are also interesting. Personal disparagements about one’s motives for posting are not.

Sergio Focardi, who assisted Andrea Rossi in the development of the E-Cat had worked with Piantelli in the study and development of LENR from nickel-hydrogen processes.

Once again, Rossi the con artist has to be mentioned.

[Moonman62]

The patent office does not care whether or not it works. That’s for the *market* to decide.

The USPTO won't even look at a LENR or cold fusion patent application, because over here it does matter whether it works or not.

[Moonman62]

I found the actual source for your article:

An Ecat blog of course. No wonder it mentions Rossi.

[PLMerite]

Let us know how much of your own money you invest in it.

[Moltke]

The USPTO won't even look at a LENR or cold fusion patent application, because over here it does matter whether it works or not.

I'm afraid you are thoroughly mistaken on that point.

Exhibit A: US Patent 6,025,810 - "Hyper Light Speed Antenna"

The present invention takes a transmission of energy, and instead of sending through normal time and space, it pokes a small hole into another dimension, thus sending the energy through a place which allows transmission of energy to exceed the speed of light.

Read the whole thing, it's a hoot.

The sad fact is that the USPTO grants about an order of magnitude more silly patents than the EPO. Simply because the US patentability limitations are broader (business methods etc.). Other than that the same three criteria I outlined in my initial post apply.

[Moltke]

Your comments about the requirements for a patent from the European Union are also interesting.

Those requirements are pretty much universal; they apply for US patents as well. Also see my post #16.

[PapaBear3625]

Any announcement of a demonstration of the device at an independent lab? Preferably a long-running demonstration?

[Kevmo]

I’d love to invest in it.

I've still got to give them credit for dismissing cold fusion applications without wasting their time looking at them.
