  • Patent number: 11869108
    Abstract: A system for effective, efficient and controlled public disclosure of inventions, developments and/or discoveries for protecting patent rights includes a publicly accessible central server to which a public at large is connected via a global communication network. The publicly available central server is composed of an interface module through which either a member of the public at large or an inventor, patent applicant or patent assignee is guided to either a public disclosure module or a database module. The public disclosure module provides inventors, patent applicants, and patent assignees with the ability to upload their disclosure materials relating to their inventions, developments and/or discoveries for public access via the database module. Once the disclosure material is uploaded via the public disclosure module, disclosure of the invention, development and/or discovery is incorporated into the database module for access by the public at large.

  • Patent number: 11825826
    Abstract: A device for the transport and storage of fishing tackle having a base member shaped and dimensioned for selective attachment to a support surface. An upstanding tubular column extends from the base member. A cover member is provided, wherein the cover member is shaped and dimensioned for selectively covering the upstanding tubular column in a manner such that the cover member can be moved between a closed configuration wherein the upstanding tubular column is hidden under the cover member and an open configuration wherein the upstanding tubular column is exposed for access by an individual using the device.

  • Patent number: 7854034
    Abstract: A brush includes a head section having a scrubbing area and a handle section coupled to and extending from the head section. The handle section includes a proximal segment, a distal segment coupled to the head section, and a recess segment positioned between the proximal segment and the distal segment. The recess segment includes a recess having a first sidewall and an opposite second sidewall. The recess includes a center point between the first sidewall and the second sidewall. The proximal segment extends from a free end of the handle section to the center point and the distal segment extends from the center point to the head section. The weight of the proximal segment of the handle section balances the combined weight of the distal segment of the handle section and head section when the recess is placed on a dividing wall of a double sink.
