My wife is on the "I'm going to invent the next..." Though her idea was entirely her own, after researching online she discovered that part of her idea was patented already. It is only a small part of her idea, same concept, though not exact. Hers has two functions, but one of the functions are based on the principle of their idea which was patented in late 1998. Hers is a damned good idea.

I remember hearing about the guy who actually invented the ipod but Apple stole his patent after it expired and didn't owe him shit. How long before a patent expires? Can you "re-up" a patent? (I'm pretty sure you can). How would she know if they "re-up'd" the patent? How similar to another patented item can another be and be considered two different items?

Thanks...if you aren't too distracted by the porn maybe somebody could answer:cool:
