4. SEKE - the Wave Energy Conversion Device

4.4.  The formation of an International Patent
 
 
 

The formation, submission and award of an international patent, should be regarded as a formal step for any serious commercial implementation and safeguarding of either further research, or viable investment interest. Although the procedures and methods to assess and describe product of intellectual property are -to a significant extend- well addressed and defined, it should become clear that this a most painstaking, laborious and often costly procedure, depending on the operational complexity, conceptual solidity, and geographical extend of the pursued conferment for an international patent certificate. A step-up process passing through the award of a national patent prior to pursuing an international patent, is quite customary and moderates the costly procedures and risks alloted to an attempt towards an international award. Clearly, the purpose of this page is not to provide a detailed account of procedures and guidelines towards this portfolio of activities. However, a clear purpose is to delineate the extensive and diversiform connection between issues of multi-annual and consolidated experimental research and, issues of the consequent rigorous compilation of deductions and descriptions, as required for an adjudication process.  To optimally outline this view, two examples have been selected.  The first, as provided in (1), is one of the most well defined patents by Prof. Masuda, in application GB 2 140 095 A, regarding the successful BBDB, OWC-principle based, series of devices. The reader may observe an animated presentation of the OWC principle in (3). The second, as provided in (2), is the preliminary patent application regarding claims for a wave energy exploitation platform, based on the CMW principle. This has been the major background for a number of consequent claim compositions, as well as the basic legal infrastructure supporting the AKROKERAMOS project.
