Hei, det her er noe av det som City Self Storage ikke vil sende da. Nemlig mitt kryssord-program, som jeg har oppfunnet, som student, på 90-tallet. Det virker nok mye bedre på dagens raske PC-er. Og er nok verdt mange penger. Jeg har søkt om patent for det nå, så jeg skulle ønske at City Self Storage sendte meg det, (og de andre tingene mine), for da kunne jeg fått patent på det, og det er verdt mye penger da. Mvh.

But in the early 90's, as a student on then Vivendi-owned academy NHI, in Oslo, I invented a new industry, which I call automated crossword-production. (With the use of Information Technology/Computer Software). I wanted to please register a patent for this as well. Yours sincerely, Erik Ribsskog ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Erik Ribsskog <eribsskog@gmail.com> Date: Fri, Apr 20, 2012 at 4:50 PM Subject: Update/Fwd: Patent To: Information@ipo.gov.uk Hi, I read up a bit more about Software Patents now: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_patents_under_United_Kingdom_patent_law To use the same termonology, used in the Wikipedia-article, linked to above, I think I would call the method I want to patent an invention in the field/industry of E-Commerce. Hope this is easier to understand now!

Some other types of intellectual property rights are also referred to as patents in some jurisdictions: industrial design rights are called design patents in the US, plant breeders' rights are sometimes called plant patents, andutility models and Gebrauchsmuster are sometimes called petty patents or innovation patents. The additional qualification utility patent is sometimes used (primarily in the US) to distinguish the primary meaning from these other types of patents. Examples of particular species of patents for inventions include biological patents, business method patents, chemical patents and software patents. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patent Is this only in the US? Thanks in advance for any reply! Best regards, Erik Ribsskog PS. This patent is really not web design only, it's more a method, I think one should call it. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Erik Ribsskog <eribsskog@gmail.com> Date: Fri, Apr 20, 2012 at 4:18 PM Subject: Re: Patent To: Information <Information@ipo.gov.uk> Ok, thank you very much for the reply. Then I understand that this is about copyright. Thanks again for the help!

Unfortunately websites and processes related to them are not protectable by a patent in the United Kingdom. A patent protects new physical inventions and covers how things work, what they do, how they do it, what they are made of and how they are made. It gives the owner the right to prevent others from making, using, importing or selling the invention without permission. The actual software you have used on your website may be protected under copyright if it was created by you however the idea of how to view and purchase items online is not protectable by UK intellectual property laws. I hope this helps with your enquiry. If you have any more queries, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Then you just click to put the item in the shopping-basket: http://www.goodyshop.co.uk/ I also have a Norwegian shop: http://www.godtebutikken.net/, and I've sold about 100 packets to Norway now. So the shop works fine. I wonder if I should register a patent on the way one buy the products, since I think that's a unique solution, which I haven't seen anywhere else, and which works fine. I'm going to go to the bank again to try to get a business-loan, and then I'm going to try to register this patent. I just wanted to send this initial e-mail, to document that I've started working with this a bit. Hope this is alright! Yours sincerley, Erik Ribsskog
