I think we're being trolled. Or trawled. Not sure which, yet. But the mention of Salvatore Cezar Pais in the patent should be enough to put this to bed for serious folks.

In case you aren't familiar with the man's work, here are some highlights of his discoveries over the last decade:
Conditional possibility of spacecraft propulsion at superluminal speeds
High frequency gravitational waves-induced propulsion
Piezoelectricity-induced room temperature superconductor
Craft using an inertial mass reduction device
On the Existence of the Superforce–the possible fundamental Force of Unification

I can't wait for my cheap antigrav FTL iron man suit to arrive next year.
- dcgudeman 3y agoI wonder why more people aren't talking about this
- nwoli 3y agoWould be pretty funny if this guy actually published a breakthrough that worked all of a sudden
- varjag 3y agoI wouldn't read too much into this. You have to address prior art when it is found in patent examination as a part of application process, no matter how bogus it is.
- martinclayton 3y agoIt looks like the citation of the Pais patent was added by the examiner, rather than by the applicants. Does that make any difference in your view?
- dasudasu 3y agoCited patents are added by the examiner. Source: I have several patents.
- kitd 3y agoSource: I have several parents Ahem :) Though it may depend on what the patents are for!
- jjk166 3y agoIf something is prior art, you need to include it, regardless of the source. Even fictional descriptions of technologies can be prior art. For example, Samsung used 2001 A Space Odyssey as prior art to invalidate Apple's patent on ipad-like tablets.
- bl_valance 3y agoI thought the inclusion of Pais' patents was more along the lines of, here is a patent related to our work, rather than we sourced tech from it.
