I would like to suggest, if Handal/EDIG feel there are issues with Gimbal or any other tech, it will be dealt with...decide for yourself...

Hi Joe,

When it comes to infringement, it's not a black or white situation…there are a lot of gray areas. That's where the lawyers come into play. So, it's difficult for me to answer your questions.

Take care,

Fred

Subject: USPTO question

When a company files for a patent, the law firm does a search for prior art, and includes this in their application by siting it correct?

Then if the USPTO finds additional prior art, it sites such as well correct?

If both statements/questions are correct, if company "A" has an all inclusive technology, the application is approved, company "B" files for a patent that has parts and pieces that are similar but not the same as company "A" nor as broad, it gets approved, there is no infringement correct?
