FAS - Project on Government Secrecy
|
|
 From https://sgp.fas.org: From 1991 to 2021, the FAS Project on Government Secrecy worked to challenge excessive government secrecy and to promote public oversight in national security affairs. This is the archived site of the FAS Project on Government Secrecy (1991-2021). It is no longer actively maintained. Selected Project resources are available below.
Invention Secrecy: At the end of fiscal year 2022, there were 6,057 secrecy orders in effect.

Invention Secrecy Hits New High
|
|
Last year the number of patent applications that were subject to a "secrecy order" (SO) under the Invention Secrecy Act of 1951 was the highest that it has been for decades, according to data obtained from the US Patent and Trademark Office and maintained on the Federation of American Scientists (FAS) site by Steven Aftergood.
Whenever disclosure of a new invention is deemed to be "detrimental to national security", a SO may be imposed on the patent application, preventing its public disclosure and blocking issuance of the patent.

Full Disclosure of Suppressed Free Energy Patents
|
|
Anonymous writes:  Hi, Here's a new petition regarding all the Suppressed Inventions that are still kept away from all of us:
Petitioning Donald Trump: Full Disclosure of Suppressed Free Energy Patents.
The release of Free Energy Patents to the public would radically change the world overnight. With the proper industrialization unlimited free energy available on a global scale could eradicate pollution, hunger, famine, poverty, homelessness and poor education.
If you want to sign this petition than go to the following link:

Free Energy Party - Underground Manufacturing
|
|
 From freeenergyparty.org (Dave Parker): Allow us to introduce...Underground Manufacturing! It is time to stop feeling picked on! Monopolies can be expected to restrain free trade and suppress breakthroughs that threaten their market share The answer is not to give up in advance or be a naive inventor who wants to get famous or rich. Instead, be an inventor who wants to slip the technology onto the market in a surprise fashion, or like we recommend....with Underground Manufacturing. We too often have a victim mentality and we too often say, "THEY won't let us have it". One example is seen when people want marijuana. They don't let the monopolies stop them from getting some. Since there is a demand for it manufacturing and distribution is all underground yet pot sales is said to be as high as cell phone sales! Why should Free Energy be any different? When monopolies illegally take over the free market and drive us toward world destruction it is obviously time for Underground Manufacturing and distribution of Free Energy, Cures, and Organic Permaculture! Stop saying, "They won't let us do it!"

Getting The License Back Was Rossi’s Top Priority
|

 From An Impossible Invention: Here’s The Settlement—Getting The License Back Was Rossi’s Top Priority by Mats Lewan
In the settlement between Rossi and his US licensee IH, Rossi got the license back together with all E-Cat equipment and materials, while none of the parties will have to pay damages to the other. Getting the license back was his top priority all the time, Rossi explains in this interview.
[Here’s the document defining the terms of the settlement (un-disclosed source)].
“To us, the most important thing was to regain complete ownership of the IP and of all the rights that were conceded through the license. At this point, it had become very clear that a continued collaboration had become impossible because of the choices IH made and because of other reasons. The development, the finalization, and the distribution of the technology—any agreement regarding this would have been impossible,” Rossi told me during an interview via Skype on July 15.

Invention Secrecy Activity in 2016
|
|
 From the FAS site - Project on Government Secrecy
Invention Secrecy Activity (as reported by the Patent & Trademark Office)
The Invention Secrecy Act of 1951 requires the government to impose "secrecy orders" on certain patent applications that contain sensitive information, thereby restricting disclosure of the invention and withholding the grant of a patent. Remarkably, this requirement can be imposed even when the application is generated and entirely owned by a private individual or company without government sponsorship or support.
There are several types of secrecy orders which range in severity from simple prohibitions on export (but allowing other disclosure for legitimate business purposes) up to classification, requiring secure storage of the application and prohibition of all disclosure.
At the end of fiscal year 2016, there were 5,680 secrecy orders in effect.

 by Michael Ferrier (Dispatches from the Future): Ten years after introducing itself to the world with an ad in the economist that claimed they’d discovered a way to defy the laws of physics and provide unlimited free energy, Steorn has announced that they’ve laid off their staff, and are liquidating their assets and winding up the company.
This was reported in today’s issue of Ireland’s Sunday Business Post. The online article is behind a paywall but the print version can be viewed here: [Sunday Business Post article on Steorn liquidation]
Former CEO Shaun McCarthy said of Steorn’s investors, “We took their money. We raised their expectations and it fell flat on its fucking face. They’ve a right to be angry about that.”

How the U.S. Patent Office Got So Screwed Up
|
|
 Eye opening article from Popular Mechanics: Once a haven for innovation, over the last two decades the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has been rocked by the velocity of technological change and roiled by "patent trolls." Could it be that the biggest impediment that innovators now face is the very system that was created to protect them?
"...But according to Epstein and other Silicon Valley insiders, the real
goal of these lobbying efforts wasn't to kill trolls or even to curtail
patent litigation. Though big tech corporations still spend many
billions a year on R&D, the outlay has shifted from the R to the
D—that is, the developmental work of bringing to market that which has
already been invented. This means that big companies increasingly obtain
their innovations not from their own efforts, but by acquiring them
from startups, small inventors, and universities.

The $5.3 Trillion Energy Subsidy Problem
|
|
 From NextBigFuture: US$5.3 trillion; 6½ percent of global GDP—that is the IMFs latest reckoning of the cost of energy subsidies in 2015.
The figure likely exceeds government health spending across the world,
estimated by the World Health Organization at 6 percent of global GDP,
but for the different year of 2013. They correspond to one of the
largest negative externality ever estimated. They have global relevance.
And that’s not all: earlier work by the IMF also shows that these
subsidies have adverse effects on economic efficiency, growth, and
inequality.
What are energy subsidies ?

U.S. Department of Energy Invites Submission of LENR Proposals
|
|
 Steven Krivit (newenergytimes.net) writes: Jan. 3, 2014 – By Steven B. Krivit –
New Energy Times has just learned that, on Sept. 27, 2013,
the Department of Energy’s Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy
(ARPA-E) quietly announced a funding opportunity for low-energy nuclear
reaction (LENR) research, among other areas.
This first-ever direct invitation from the Department of Energy for
submission of proposals to fund this research marks a significant point
in the field’s history. This is one of three recent shifts in the
scientific establishment’s attitude toward this new field of science.

Brazil Tech Most Advanced in the World

Anonymous writes: Avatar Director James Cameron does battle with technology giant, Brazil. The following is a copy of a letter sent to Atossa Soltani, Founder and Executive Director of Amazon Watch on April 17, 2010.
To the attention of Atossa Soltani:
After reading several AP articles in local papers in California, I became aware of the issues over the Belo Monte project. I have visited many of the countries in South America and to the Amazon in Ecuador and Peru (time in Brazil/Iguazu only), but not to the area of the proposed dam.
I understand that a group of your people was recently in Brazil with Avatar director, James Cameron ; I should think he would be very interested in knowing about this
technology.

Provisional Patents Don’t Exist
|
|
By David M. DeMay (inventorsdigest.com)
In the inventor community, many possess a limited understanding of the U.S. patent process.
One of the most common misunderstandings relates to the notion of a
“provisional patent.” I’ve heard people say, “I have a provisional
patent” or “I am protected because I have filed for a provisional
patent.” Because of their misunderstanding of the process, many have
unintentionally surrendered any patent rights they may have secured for
their invention.
