This book is a guide to avoiding the pitfalls of trying to patent a device that falls into the category of a perpetual motion machine (PMM). It is written by a Patent examiner with 20 years experience working for PTO (US Patent and Trademark Office). Given the amount of time, energy, and money required to submit a patent application, this book will be extremely helpful to inventors who may not be aware that their devices will fail to qualify for a patent. It provides a simple, logic-based explanation of why PMMs are not possible; explains the thought process of patent examiners in their review of device/system designs, providing a method for a simple determination of whether a device/system is a PMM with the use of energy diagrams; and concludes with examples of rejected and wrongly granted patents involving PMMs.The overall aim is to assist inventors in determining whether an invention is a PMM, thus saving them the time and money involved in a rejected patent application. This book is also a useful guide for PTO examiners in their task of analyzing PMM applications.
