Hi, this isn't about ideas, these are real inventions that are up and running. Please confirm that you understand that this isn't about an idea or suggestion. Best regards, Erik Ribsskog On Mon, Aug 6, 2012 at 1:42 PM, <USPTOInfo@uspto.gov> wrote: Thank you for contacting the USPTO Contact Center. Patents protect inventions and improvements to existing inventions. A patent cannot be obtained on a mere idea or suggestion. Copyrights cover literary, artistic, and musical works. Trademarks are brand names and/or designs which are applied to products or used in connection with services. A patent for an invention is a grant of property rights by the Government through the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. The patent grant excludes others from making, using, or selling the invention. Patent applications are examined for both technical and legal merit. Prior to filing a patent application, a search of existing patents can be conducted. Users can access searchable databases containing full-text patent information for U.S. patents granted since 1976 and full-page images since 1790 on the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) web site at http://patft.uspto.gov/ Inventors should file online via EFS-Web at: http://www.uspto.gov/patents/process/file/efs/index.jsp and/or inventors should apply in writing to the Commissioner for Patents using one of two types of patent applications: (1) A nonprovisional application, which begins the examination process and may lead to a patent. (2) A provisional application which establishes a filing date but does not begin the examination process. For patent forms information, you may visit the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office Web site at http://www.uspto.gov/forms/index.jsp. Presently, only a few forms are fillable on-line. For the current schedule of fees, see the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) Web site at http://www.uspto.gov/about/offices/cfo/finance/fees.jsp. There are basic filing fees for utility patent applications, design applications, and plant applications. If the owner of the invention qualifies as a small entity (that is an independent inventor, a small business, or a nonprofit organization), the filing fees are reduced by half if the small entity status is claimed. See transmittal forms PTO/SB/05 for utility patent application, PTO/SB/18 for design patent application, and PTO/SB/19 for plant patent application at http://www.uspto.gov/forms/index.jsp. Please note: Fees are subject to change each year and should therefore be verified before submission to the USPTO. Checks or money orders should be payable to the "Director of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office" and sent to the Commissioner for Patents P.O. Box 1450 Alexandria, VA 22313-1450 The patent grant excludes others from making, using, or selling the invention. A utility or plant patent in force on June 8, 1995, is subject to either the 17 year term from grant or the 20 year term from earliest effective U.S. filing date, whichever is longer. A design patent term is 14 years from patent grant. The right conferred by the patent grant extends throughout the United States. The terms 'Patent Pending' and 'Patent Applied For' are used to inform the public that an application for a patent has been filed. Patent protection does not start until the actual grant of a patent. Marking of an article as patented, when it is not, is illegal and subject to penalty. The USPTO Contact Center will send informational materials providing a broad overview of the process of obtaining a United States patent, including general requirements. If you would like to receive this information, please send us your name and mailing address. You can visit the USPTO Web site at www.uspto.gov. For technical patent inquiries, you may contact the USPTO Contact Center (UCC) at 571-272-1000 and request to be transferred to the Inventors Assistance Center (IAC). IAC representatives are available Monday through Friday (except Federal holidays) from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time.

[THREAD ID:1-3OHILM] -----Original Message----- From: eribsskog@gmail.com Sent: 8/5/2012 09:44:52 PM To: USPTO Info <usptoInfo@uspto.gov> Subject: Patents Hi, I'm sending you an initial e-mail regarding some patents I've invented. 1. The first patent is an online 'one-click-shop', for e-commerce. One just point on the goods with the mouse-arrow, and then clicks to put the item in the shopping-basket. Like shown on one of my web-shops here: http://www.ukgoodyshop.com/ (It works with PayPal now, but should work with any payment-system with some modification). 2. I've also invented a crossword-compilaton-programme, some years ago. When I studied at the academy NHI, (Norges Høgskole for Informasjonsteknologi), once owned by French company Vivendi, in Oslo, in 1991/92, as part of a module called O39/49 Project Assignment. My transcript from this academy can be found in PS. 5, in this link, from my website, at Angelfire: http://johncons.angelfire.com/om.html The computer-programme I made in Pascal has an algoritm in it that can make crosswords. The programme first makes the solution for the cross-word, in a matrix, and then finds the synonyms in a word-list, and then prints out the cross-words. These algoritms, could be used to make commercial crosswords, I think. One just need to put them in a bigger matrix. And the programme, as it is, from the early 90's could make commercial cross-words as it is. One just need to put some more synonyms in the world-list. But if one works a bit more with it, one could make even bigger cross-words. But I want to please have patents on these two algorithms, and also the finished programme. The academy isn't co-operating now, I've overheard I'm followed by some 'mafian' in Norway, so I've ran to the UK, and the programme is in Norway. Even so I send this as an initial e-mail regarding this. I've been in contact with UK patent-autorities, but have had problems with getting them to see this from my side. Am also wondering about contacting Norwegian patent-autorities. Hope I can get these patents registered with you! Yours sincerely, Erik Ribsskog
