Newsgroups: comp.ai.neural-nets Path: sparky!uunet!decwrl!world!srctran From: srctran@world.std.com (Gregory Aharonian) Subject: Periodic Neural Network Patent Posting Message-ID: <BtD304.CHC@world.std.com> Organization: The World Public Access UNIX, Brookline, MA Date: Sat, 22 Aug 1992 01:33:39 GMT Lines: 793 The following is my periodic posting of new (or newly encountered) patents dealing with neural networks. Lines below starting with "!" are new additions to this file. Comments to explain the titles are enclosed in brackets [...]. The text of any of these patents can be ordered from the patent office for $3 in printed form. Also, for $20, I will provide a machine readable version of the abstract, text, claims and references for any neural network patent. Greg Aharonian Source Translation & Optimization srctran@world.std.com 617-489-3727 ============================================================================= For a very good article on the legal issues involving neural network patents, see the article "Intellectual Property Protection for Neural Networks" by Donald Wenskay, Neural Networks, 3, pp. 229-236, 1990. ============================================================================= For those interested in applying for a neural network patent, I freely provide a LaTeX template for a patent application. Please email a request, and I'll send it to you. Contains most of the boilerplate you need. ============================================================================= To date, I have yet to see any articles in the trade journals on either companies signing cross-licensing agreements to share their neural network patents, or patent infringement lawsuits dealing with neural network patents. To me, this means that no one is making much money with neural networks (other than selling software), and that the financial return on acquiring a patent is less than the cost of applying for and maintaining a patent. If anyone hears of either occurrence, please let me know. ============================================================================= NEURAL NETWORK PATENTS (patents in reverse chronological order) Copyright 1992 Gregory Aharonian ! 5,136,687 awarded to Gerald Edelman, George Reeke 08/92 395/22 !
