New generic hullshape for multihulls

Thank you Skip, you are too kind.

 

I believe the kind moniker should go to the person who has really offered to help ;-)

 

I don't know your source of information on this, Skip. However, I've received advice from a patent lawyer stating that any public viewing in the course of prototyping, refining a design, etc, will not void any subsequent IP rights. Only marketing a design will. Cheers

 

I must point out that your comments aren't relevant to the subject of my new generic hullshape, simply because I'm selling a particular boat. Those parameters you question are totally up to a designers discretion. A vee hull, for example, can be whatever measurements the designer is looking to apply for the boat's intended purpose. Same with this new hull.
Same applies to your questioning of how can it be applied to both sailing and power. Using the vee hull again as an example. There are vee hulled sailing cats and vee hulled powercats. Cheers

This is an oxymoron. A generic design, or any other, can't have all forms. Each design has a particular form. There could be a generic design, and particular shape, to serve all purposes and applications. I strongly doubt that exists though.

 

That is not correct. Public use is the same as publishing it in the public domain. There is enough documented history of patents being void because of that. A good example is the spring steel stays invented to replace balleens on women's corset. The inventor had his cousing wear a corset with the steel stays to test it. A company started manufacturing them and the inventor sued. He lost because the invention had been used in public.

 

No, not at all, doubts don't change anything. It's certainty, conviction, and effort that do.
You, like everyone else, still have much to learn, and with this attitude, I highly doubt you'll find any partners for your novel and unique project.

 

Tansil. I don't understand your comment. Perhaps you don't understand sarcasm. Or my attempt at sarcasm.
I came to this forum seeking a partner. But all I've received is negativety and sarcasm. I've been working on this project for many years and have been continually met with derision and skepticism and I used to take offense to it. But now I have accepted it as character building. And character is something I've lacked from birth. So thanks for your help.

 

@Robert Cain, you are welcome.

 

I think a NDA comes into play if you, say, hire a prototyper to build a test model.

 

Thanks for your input. It's been a while since I consulted with a IP lawyer so my memory isn't that good on all the details. I think I will have another consultation with the view going in that direction of securing IP rights. Cheers

 

I like to clarify that my design innovation is not a particular boat hull, be that sail, power, large or small. It seems this hasn't been clear to some. Though, this innovation can be adapted to anyone of those applications. Perhaps the wording in my original comment lead to some misunderstanding, leading to comment which were not relevant to this new innovation.
I came on this forum, not seeking validation of my new innovation because I am quite confident in its validity, but, rather, seeking a partner with sailing, business and entrepreneurial skills. And who is honest and trustworthy. This partnership is not about finances. The only cost to a potential partner would be time and expertise.
I'd like to hear from someone with sincere interest. Cheers

 

Robert, I would very much like to partner with you on this, but as you can understand, I can't tell you anything about myself, my sailing, business, and entrepreneurial skills, until I have more information about you and your project. If that's alright with you, please send me a private message with whatever information you think is appropriate and sufficient to begin discussing this.
