091242 - On sale bar rule was discussed by Morris on 041223 citing grounds to
091243 - file for a patent on SDS. ref SDS 8 0001
091245 -  ..
091246 - Morris points to disqualifying criteria that may prevent patenting SDS
091247 - on grounds of prior use in commercial transactions. ref OF 22 SU9G
091248 - The language in the report issued by USACE on 970327 may meet this
091249 - criteria. ref DRP 4 8449  However, the USACE transaction did not
091250 - convey the SDS program to USACE, and only the inventor used the
091251 - product, which yielded experience for development toward making SDS
091252 - ready for patenting, and then use by customers.

091255 -     bar with respect to filing for a patent on SDS. ref SDS 10 6S9S
091257 -  ..
091258 - Burton's analysis further states in part...
091259 -
091260 -         The invention must be ready for patenting at the time of the
091261 -         sales offer or commercial sale.  This might be shown in a
091262 -         number of ways, including through an operational apparatus
091263 -         that embodies the invention, or through sufficiently specific
091264 -         drawings or other descriptions of the invention. ref OF 22
091265 -         GH5Q
091267 -  ..
091268 - When an invention is "ready for patenting" rests on evidence.  SDS
091269 - early designs were tried in 3 or 4 commercial transactions over the
091270 - past 20 years to gain experience for product development.  In each
091271 - case major revision occurred toward the goal of a useable product that
091272 - is ready for patenting.  Since the purpose of the product to augment
091273 - intelligence is complex and difficult to achieve, a long development
091274 - involving experimentation, trial and error eventually discovered a
091275 - design and implementation that is useable by people to improve
091276 - alphabet technology for augmenting intelligence, as called out in
091277 - POIMS. ref OF 3 JL6L
091279 -  ..
091280 - At the time of commercial transaction with USACE in 1996, SDS was not
091281 - useable by anyone, except the inventor.  For example, Morris called on
091282 - 920215 and reported that SDS was too difficult even for a computer
091283 - expert to use. ref SDS 1 5820  As well, on 970417 USACE made a similar
091284 - report. ref SDS 2 8033  More recently on 020920, Jack Park, also, a
091285 - computer expert, complained there isn't a program people can use to
091286 - create SDS work product. ref SDS 5 OP9J  Thus, SDS was not ready for
091287 - patenting.
091289 -  ..
091290 - SDS has been made ready for patenting with continued development to
091291 - refine theory, design, and implementation, as shown on 000824 listing
091292 - 78 or so improvements. ref SDS 3 0001  Currently, work is underway to
091293 - develop a method for delivering the program to customers, based on
091294 - belief, that SDS may now be ready for patenting, since it may now be
091295 - useable by other people.
091297 -  ..
091298 - With development of a viable setup.exe or install.exe program that can
091299 - convey SDS to customers in a manner that enables routine use without
091300 - intervention of the inventor, this event may signal that SDS is ready
091301 - for patenting, as called out in the guidance submitted by Morris, per
091302 - above. ref SDS 0 2V5L
091304 -  ..
091305 - Assuming all of this passes muster with the patent office, there is
091306 - then the hurdle of explaining the invention.  One idea is to present
091307 - the SDS record as the engine that drives the process.  We will have to
091308 - describe specific functionality for the plan, perform, report
091309 - intelligence support presented in POIMS. ref OF 6 6649
