United States allows patent technology green Jump the queue for another year

The United States Patent And Trademark Office (USPTO) has extended its green technology pilot program to expedite the examination of petitions for green technology defined as those concerning patent to: quality of the environment, conservation of energy, the development of renewable energy and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Typically, applications are reviewed in the order they are received by the patent office leading inventors and businesses to delay the commercialization of their program technologies.Ce allows to jump the queue without additional fees and paperwork green tech patent, and the USPTO hopes that it will reduce the average time for Green by one year technology or more.

Programme launched in December 2009 and was item to expire on 8 December this year, but the USPTO Wednesday announced an extension of the period to 31 December 2011 so far, the USPTO has received petitions patent 1595 and granted them 790 of green technology pilot program.

The programme could prove controversial, as suggested by the Chairman and founder of IPWatchdog., Gene Quinn:

When has it ever been wrong encourage new exciting technologies? an argument could be made that the Patent Office could and should extend this acceleration program beyond tech green space and more broadly define these types of innovations that we as a society are most besoin.Un unique system of patents, or patent term need seems like désuets.Bactéries are becoming increasingly resistant to antibiotics and with more and more people around the world, we need to constantly advance food production technologies…a unique patent system is dépassée.Que acceleration or patent more long term, we must do our utmost to encourage innovations in the society needs more.

The Latest Ad Hoc Mobile Personal Tech Networking Device Patent by Apple

Every day the smart phone market has something new to say, new to report, or more information to retort. For instance, now Apple is upping the ante on their control over the smart phones they sell, and has decided to apply for a few new patents. Yes, this is all typical in Apple Style, and yet, one of those patents is very telling to us at our Internet style Think Tank, as we are constantly remunerating about such things.

Great article on August 20, 2010 in ARS Technica entitled; "Apple May Be Looking to Lock Out Unauthorized iOS Users," by Chris Foresman who reported that Apple filed a patent titled; "Systems and Methods for Identifying Users of an Electronic Device," such as heartbeat analysis, photo, voice print, and suspicious behavior uncommon to the known user.

So, I guess a thief who has stolen the phone would then be giving away his/her picture, voice print, keystrokes, and Global Position (location). The patent appears to also be able to turn off phone, erase hard-drive, and download all information to the "cloud" which is to protect the user. Yes, very nice, but with this technology, the authorities could also shut-it-down if the individual was suspected of being a bad guy, rioter, terrorist, etc. too.

Now then some folks at Slash-Dot ask, well would this also allow Apple to shut off those who "jail-break" from Apple's proprietary software? A great question posed by SoulSkill (screen name). A very good question, and inquiring minds, like mine want to know. But I also suspect that by having this feature, it means that the US Army would be interested in this for our "Blue Force" tracking in the Net Centric or rather Ad Hoc networked battlespace too. See that point.

If an enemy gets a hold of one of their mobile devices, boom! - it is shut off and we have a picture of the enemy's camp, and what questions are asked, and the position of the soldier or device? Wow, now that is what I call using privileged information during interrogation. It also helps Apple sell its devices to the US Government over competitors like Motorola, Nokia, HTC, Google, and Blackberry too.

Unfortunately, this will totally fuel new conspiracy theories and NSA fringe seekers living in old cold war missile silos waiting for the apocalypse or Terminator's SkyNet to take over? Is this more big brother, or just upping the stakes in the world of personal tech, and government, military security for communication devices? You decide, I've already decided for myself.
