why not? If you know the patent number, no prob. Patents are public documents.

Full disclosure: I am a IP consultant and testifying expert, but not in this area.

No problem just curious why. The patent number is 6,583,225 and the link to the uspto site is here http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-P...225&RS=6583225.

So, the patent owner isn't me obviously. However, my school is part of a program called CATI (Center for Advanced Technology and Innovation) www.thecati.com and so the company had no use for the patent and gave right to it to CATI. This is actually where I got hold of the patent and was able to gain right to it. Overall, it's a vary cool integration of school to the real world. Hope this little bit was helpful and anymore questions are welcome and I will do my best to answer them.

Thanks!

Been a while, but I've been an expert witness in a patent suit as well. (Gas fireplace)

And, it was not fun!

I don't know, I love IP and patent law. If I decide I don't like chemistry research, I'm going to get my J.D. to practice patent law lol.
