Does this mean that if I make some drawings of a flux capacitor I own the engineers who create the first time traveling DeLorean?

That’s funny. He’d have a better chance going after 3Com/Palm or if he must have Apple, for the Newton. The whole point of the iOS iPod/iPhone/iPad is that there IS no built-in physical keyboard.

Ross applied for a utility patent to protect his invention in November 1992, but the application was declared abandoned in April 1995 by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office after he failed to pay the required application fees. He also filed to copyright his technical drawings with the U.S. Copyright Office in 2014.He has no patent and no copyright, ergo no legal claim. His lawsuit will be dismissed in short order.

Hope he wins.

Did anybody else notice that a patent is only good for 20 years from time of application and had he been granted one it would’ve expired in 2012????

Lmao, his drawings don’t even make any sense. He says he’s going to cram a 3 1/2” floppy drive in a case that a 3 1/2” floppy drive cannot fit into, not to mention the 286 processor, hard drive, ram, dram, etc.
Basically he described a standard laptop computer of the time in his specs, then made a drawing that you could not possibly fit the contents of said laptop computer into.
To: Swordmaker
You lose when you abandon. It says he made no progress. Plus it was a utility patent
This will go nowhere

This guy is full of crap. Lots of people made drawings and speculated on neat future gear, but without the engineering to make it feasible. The Star Trek TV series of the 1960s featured a communicator very similar to this man's drawings. So this guy ripped off Star Trek!
Back in the early 1980s, Steve Jobs had a public discussion with Maya Linn, the famed artist and sculptor. She asked why there wasn't a more portable version of the Apple computers. Steve Jobs described a notebook computer with a flat screen and minimal buttons using hand gestures that he was wishing he could build. She asked why not. He said the technology wasn't there just yet, but he hoped to build it someday. It took him another 20 years before new technology made it possible. Steve Jobs beat this guy to the punch, as did many others in dreaming of tech but not yet making it feasible.
