專利與產品

從電子工程專輯網頁上看到一個產品與專利,記錄一下,可用在演講裡頭!

這個具有列印功能的滑鼠真有產品如下:
http://usb.brando.com/prod_detail.php?prod_id=00375
相對的Casio專利案為US6,650,315

其中揭露一種內建有印表機的滑鼠(Mouse device with a built-in printer ),細節如下:
(其中重要的元件有熱感應頭24、紙卷21、滾筒23、紙軸20a、步進馬達56、感應器59)


獨立範圍如下,範圍包括可以裝載記錄紙(recording paper,一種熱感應紙)的殼體,印表機單元則用於列印自電腦收到的資訊,之後界定出印表機單元有:裝載紙的部份、饋入的部份、印表頭與輸出部。

1. A mouse device for use as an input device of a computer, said mouse device comprising:
a housing in which recording paper is loadable; and
a printer unit provided within the housing for printing on the recording paper print information received from the computer;
wherein said printer unit comprises:
a paper loading section in which the recording paper is loaded;
feeding means for feeding the recording paper loaded in the loading section;
a print head for printing on the recording paper fed by said feeding means; and
a discharge port through which the recording paper is discharged by said feeding means out of the housing after printing by said print head.
後記:
有時獲取專利就是發明本身明確且前所未有,即便是前案的組合,但是最後的結果是個明確而具有突出特徵的,仍可以獲准專利。顯然此件專利是個容易撰寫的專利,不在乎撰寫人如何用多有技巧的寫法,而是專利本身就具有十分明瞭的特徵,就是滑鼠加上印表機,只要將一些必要特徵界定到獨立範圍即可,特別是用一些上位的功能性描述即可!

經考慮幾個前案後(US4697244、US5126955、US5311208、US5791792、US20010048447、US20020030830),事實上,如果可以重寫的話,大約就寫兩個部份:一個裝置具有「滑鼠/電腦指示模組」與「印表機模組」,大概就是最廣的範圍吧!
