A simple padlock inspired me to reinvent now
138+
new patentable key or combination functionally/mechanically unique,
mind-bogglingly
simple,
hack &
bump resistant locking padlocks including dozens of all new
product bundling
applications using any padlock.
Any padlock are all those below ornamental design changes made to
post civil war
1871 ,
1880 or
a 1912
padlock by others hoping their aesthetic changes might somehow increase
market share .
Focusing on cosmetic changes to an old lock
body and
not envisioning ways to make padlocks
resistant or relevant, is being creatively clueless.
This lack of innovative
thinking has some
lock companies being asked, "What makes your product
different
from the rest?" While others wonder what's next a
fotolock
or perhaps a
rebar
/ twizzler
padlock shackle.
Creativity is innovating consumer demand for new and unique locking
products in a 2010 world. And "Doing the same thing over and
over, yet expecting different results, is the definition of crazy."

See if you can find
true
innovation in any of below lock patents. Most are
dull, boring, imitations, duplications, duplications and for those
innovatively
challenged
responsible, that's enough.

Q. Have you offered your new patentable padlocks
and new applications to padlock manufacturers?
A. Yes. I emailed this site to every padlock manufacturer on this
planet having a web presence more than a few times and even applied
for employment at one of them. Innovation,
increasing profits or targeting new padlock users are concepts
they simply do not understand. Obsessive cosmetic design
changes to
pre-light
bulb era padlocks they love. Go figure.
Q. Can you say more about your new padlocks and padlock product uses?
A. No. Think over one hundred new patentable unique padlocks
and padlock product uses for appliances, art, auto, business, bicycles,
cable/pneumatic/ ball valve
lockouts,
chains, children, communications, consumer electronics,
factories, government locations, guns, homes (apartments, boats,
condos, ships), health care, hospitals, i products, industry,
military, offices, lockers (employee, gym, school),
passive key sequencer, religious,
roll up
doors, safety, seasonal, stores(discount, outlet,
retail), tools, transportation and TV's. Most have
use applications for today's consumer products and none are design changes
to
antique
or
a new
padlock
vulnerable
to a 10 pound dumbbell!
Q. Do you believe some lock companies are misguided when it comes to
padlock creativity or do they just lack a strategic business plan?
A. Yes to both. These are very tough economic times, cosmetic
changes to padlocks on display in a
museum, refusing to shift
away from
"tried and true" and not being attuned to basic consumer wants and
needs, can you say management
failure?
comments:
Sat, 14 Nov 2009 Dear Padlock inventor, I too have recently looked at
the padlock patents and it is indeed pathetic what the conventional
companies continue to sell.
Tue, 02 Sep 2008 I have to admit that those shackles certainly seem
very similar to me, but the threshold of "novelty" for design patents
is pretty low. There's no functional difference between a lock with
a round shackle and one with an octagonal cross-section - but functional
difference is exactly what design patents are NOT intended to protect.
Clearly, a round shackle is different visually from one with eight sides,
and perhaps that's a difference which means something to a padlock manufacturer.
Or, more likely, they hope that it will distinguish their goods from
their competitors', so that a consumer will see a lock with an eight-sided
shackle hanging on a rack with all the round-shackled locks and say,
"I like that company's locks, so I'll buy that one." It's not unlike
the differences in design of keys for locks - the punched rectangular
top doesn't work any better than a round one, but it makes it instantly
recognizable as a Kwickset. (Design patent and trade dress/product configuration
protection kind of overlap, here) Design patents have their place in
the general scheme of protection, but there's a reason why they're less
expensive, shorter lived, and easier to get. They just cover a visual
difference from what was done before, and for some people, that's enough.
