SECRECY ORDERS IMPOSED ON PRIVATE INVENTORS RISE
Posted on Wednesday, October 15, 2003 @ 00:23:58 UTC by vlad

Legal Over the past year, 133 secrecy orders were imposed on new patent applications, limiting or preventing their disclosure on grounds that they could be "detrimental to the national security." More than half of the new orders affected private inventors who developed their inventions without government funding or support.


The legal authority for patent secrecy orders derives from the Invention Secrecy Act of 1951, which provides for government review of patent applications related to a wide range of military technologies, and authorizes the government to regulate or prevent their disclosure.

At the end of fiscal year 2003, there were a total of 4,838 secrecy orders still in effect, according to statistics released this week by the Patent and Trademark Office under the Freedom of Information Act.

The Invention Secrecy Act and the Atomic Energy Act are the only statutes that assert a government right to prevent the publication of privately-generated information, a provision that appears to be at odds with the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

Secrecy orders imposed on such private inventors are termed "John Doe" orders. Last year, an unusually large 75 of the 133 new secrecy orders were John Doe orders. The nature of these secret inventions could not, of course, be ascertained.

Further information on the Invention Secrecy Act of 1951, including the declassified 1971 edition of the "patent security category review list" (newly posted) which defines the technology areas subject to patent secrecy, may be found here:

And here is what we know from EPRI:
EPRI Board Releases Report Detailing Vision for the Future for U.S. Electric Power

The “Electricity Sector Framework for the Future” aims to restore highly reliable, affordable, environmentally friendly power system
.....
The transformation will be enabled by technical innovations including:

* digital control of the power delivery network,

* the integration of electricity and communications,

* transformation of the meter into a two-way energy/information portal,

* integration of distributed energy resources into the network, and

* a robust advanced power generation portfolio, including the refining of coal.

The Patent Security Review List 1971 is quite fascinating.

The whole time I've been working on MHD I've wondered why it hasn't been used before...

Group 11 Item 7 explains all...

They also list any Energy conversion technology with efficiencies of 70-80 percent, and PV cells over 20 percent.

Can we sue the Patent Office?

One more good reason why it may be detrimental to the
sustainable development of the world to patent really
good ideas and useful technologies that could make a
big difference to mankind's access to clean energy!

The way out seems to be the INTELLECTUAL PASSPORT -
where the inventor is protected internationally at
reasonable cost and yet can keep secret key elements
for protection and go on to commercialize and develop
the invention - and retain rights for decades unto
heirs.. with minimal, if any, recourse to litigation.
