The poor examiner may be railroaded into granting a patent because he/she does not have the technical background to counter arguments presented by the applicant. <BR/><BR/>Will a patentee with a patent in Welsh be obliged to provide a translation of the claims/description into English when making persons aware of his or her patent?<BR/><BR/>In practice, however, I do not think that many people will take advantage of using Welsh. <BR/><BR/>May be a good way of getting something into the public domain without it meaning very much to a lot of people outside Wales and Patagonia.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574479.post-84698521281817423822007-03-14T09:13:00.000+00:002007-03-14T09:13:00.000+00:00The Welsh language scheme is one I am looking more...The Welsh language scheme is one I am looking more closely at, because it seems, on first reading, to be completely idiotic.
