Question about trade secrets and patent enforcement:
How does a patent holder enforce his patents when a device with trade secrets is by definition unavailable for examination, especially if the device is leased and reverse engineering is forbidden? As an example, Piantelli has a nickel-hydrogen patent. How could he enforce that against Rossi if what's inside a Rossi device is a secret? Does a court have the power to force disclosure? Just curious. Hoyt Stearns Scottsdale Arizona US --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. http://www.avast.com
