Yes It's Hot, It's August!

Monday August 11, 2008
Me in front of the air conditionerHere is a list of wonderful inventions all invented in August. Proving the point that heat does not affect inventors' brains. Well maybe the heat is affecting my brains. Good thing I have air conditioning. Did you know that in 1928, Willis Haviland Carrier developed the "Weathermaker" - the first air conditioner for private home use? Photo: Courtesy of Carrier

(1) Jake Williams says:

I had spent many hours searching for prior art and found nothing. Then I heard about SearchQuest™. It was the only search company to search the entire world for published or previously issued patents. It also included a product search which I hand not even thought of doing. There weren’t any other search companies offering a product search as part of the patent search services. It cost me $499.00 to find out what I needed to know. If I had not used SearchQuest, I wouldn’t have found the patent issued in Australia two years ago. Now I had the chance to file a patent that didn’t infringe. Anyone thinking of filing a patent, manufacturing a product or investing in a product should use a good search company. It is worth every penny and I’d use SearchQuest again in a heart beat. http://www.patentsearchbysearchquest.com
