The term of a patent is the maximum period during which it can be maintained into force. It is usually expressed in number of years either starting from the filing date of the patent application or from the date of grant of the patent. In most patent laws, renewal annuities or maintenance fees have to be regularly paid in order to keep the patent in force. Otherwise the patent lapses before its term.

The term of a patent or specific “claims” in a patent may also be curtailed by judgment of a court, as where a claim or patent is held “invalid” under the relevant law, and thus no longer enforceable.

Significant international harmonization of patent term across national laws was provided in the 1990s by the implementation of the WTO’s Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPs Agreement). Article 33 of the TRIPs Agreement
provides that the

“The term of protection available [for patents] shall not end before the expiration of a period of twenty years counted from the filing date.”

Consequently, in most patent laws nowadays, the term of patent is 20 years from the filing date of the application. This however does not forbid the states party to the WTO from providing, in their national law, other type of patent-like rights with shorter terms. Utility models are an example of such rights. Their term is usually 6 or 10 years.

In the United States, under current patent law, for patents filed on or after June 8, 1995, the term of the patent is 20 years from the earliest claimed filing date. For patents filed prior to June 8, 1995, the term of patent is either 20 years from the earliest claimed filing date or 17 years from the issue date, whichever is longer. Extensions may also be had for various administrative delays. (See: Term of patent in the United States). The exact date of termination may be zealously litigated, especially where daily profits from a patent amount to millions of dollars, e.g., pharmaceuticals.

Other types of patents may have varying terms. For example, in the U.S., design patents (based on a decorative, non-functional design) typically have a 14-year term.

The term of patent protection may also be affected by specific multi-lateral, international agreements. Protection of patents issued in European Union countries were only enforced for three years (until 1995) against pharmaceuticals manufactured in Spain (and cheaply available). Prior to its Treaty of Accession, Spain did not offer patent protection for pharmaceutical products.

Term extensions

If the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) delays the issuance of a patent, it is possible to receive extensions. This may result in patents being issued for periods longer than 20 years. The reasons for extensions include:

• Delayed response to an application request for patent.
• Exceeding 3 years to consider a patent application.
• Delays due to a secrecy order or appeal.

It is possible to receive time extensions equal to the amount of delay.

In the United States, patent misuse is an affirmative defense used in patent litigation after the defendant has been found to have infringed a patent. This umbrella term usually describes:

• violation of antitrust laws
• improper expansion of the scope or term of the patent

In the United States, a patent is a publication that grants the patentee the right to exclude others from making, using, or selling the claimed invention that is disclosed in the patent. It is not patent misuse to enforce rights to a patent irrespective of any use or non-use by the patent owner.

The U.S. Supreme Court established the patent misuse doctrine in Motion Picture Patents Co. v. Universal Film Mfg. Co., 243 U.S. 502 (1917).

The scope of the patent misuse doctrine is today limited by 35 U.S.C. 271(d):

No patent owner otherwise entitled to relief for infringement or contributory infringement of a patent shall be denied relief or deemed guilty of misuse or illegal extension of the patent right by reason of his having done one or more of the following: (1) derived revenue from acts which if performed by another without his consent would constitute contributory infringement of the patent; (2) licensed or authorized another to perform acts which if performed without his consent would constitute contributory infringement of the patent; (3) sought to enforce his patent rights against infringement or contributory infringement; (4) refused to license or use any rights to the patent; or (5) conditioned the license of any rights to the patent or the sale of the patented product on the acquisition of a license to rights in another patent or purchase of a separate product, unless, in view of the circumstances, the patent owner has market power in the relevant market for the patent or patented product on which the license or sale is conditioned.

An intelligent network is a computer network in which the network is in control of application creation and operation. Relatively dumb terminal and devices on the network periphery access centralized network services on behalf of their users. The owners of the network are in complete charge of the type and quantity of applications that exist on the network.

An intelligent network is most suited for applications in which reliability and security are prime requirements. Application software is centralized and so can be rigorously verified before deployment. This large scale of the network and the ability to verify application operation allows such networks to address very complicated tasks. The costs of development and testing may be spread across many users.

The intelligent network architecture is at one extreme of a continuum of network architectures. It should be contrasted with the dumb network architecture.

MTV Drumscape is a drum simulation made by the Devecka company (president John Devecka). It resembles Karaoke for drums. Drumscape was the first coin operated music game ever created. Devecka’s unique concept was to mix musical instruments and video games which will make learning and playing musical instruments fun. His first Drumscape prototype was built in his garage.

Players sit in a booth, facing an electronic drumset and sound system, where they are given a set of drumsticks, and select from a number of music tracks. After they select a song, they can play electronic drums along with the song. Stage lights and crowd cheers are triggered as you play, presumably to create a more ‘real’ experience.

There is also an option to play themed drums that trigger different instrument sounds such as keyboards and DJ scratching.

Drumscape machines were placed in hundreds of top attractions all across the US, Canada, Europe and Mexico from 1997-2001. The Drumscape was also endorsed by many famous musicians and drummers as a way to introduce music to children.

Drumscape machines have a large number of tracks on them, and the tracklist can be changed by the operator, in a manner similar to a jukebox.

The product’s website can be located here.

Devecka’s Patents

First and foremost, Devecka’s international patents not only covers drumming games but also all music games (including but not limited to Guitar Freaks, Guitar Hero, Rock Band, Dance Dance Revolution, and others in the genre)

Devecka was a pioneer in the creation of music games, as the MTV Drumscape was the first coin operated musical instrument based video game. The introduction of his patented music game was more than one year prior to Konami’s Beat Mania in 1997. Devecka’s international music patents are now owned by Activision.

Oracle Application Express (Oracle Apex, previously named Oracle HTML-DB) is a free software development environment based on the Oracle database [1]. It was previously known as “Project Marvel” and “Web DB”. It allows a very fast development cycle to be achieved to create web based applications. It can be used for departmental-style applications with a dozen users, but can also scale up to handle thousands of users. The framework itself adds as little as 0.05 second of overhead to each page request; how well an application scales is primarily based on the efficiency of the SQL queries used by the application developer.

Oracle Application Express can be installed in an Oracle 9.2 or higher database, and starting from Oracle 11g it will be preinstalled along with the database.

In January 2006 Oracle renamed HTML DB to “Oracle Application Express”. Version 2.1 of Apex was bundled with the free Oracle Express Edition (XE) database.

In 2007 Oracle released Apex 3.0. This third major version features several new features, notably PDF Printing and Flash charting. Apex 3.0.1 was released in July 2007, and this version can also be installed into an Oracle XE database.

One of the most well known applications developed in Application Express is the AskTom application developed by Thomas Kyte. Oracle’s Metalink support site also runs on Apex.
