RE: [PIUG List] Re: Global Record Breaking Patents: Longest & Shortest, updated list (v1.7)

Rex,

 

If US20070224201A1 has 7154 pages, how many pages would the
corresponding PCT application have?

 

It's got to be bigger. The parts outside the 6881 drawing sheets would
be typed, double spaced, and it would have all the claims that were
cancelled in the US case. And maybe even a search report with enough
cited references to cause all those claims to be cancelled.

 

Edlyn Simmons

GB 2377301 has 109 figures.
EP 1259930 has 207 figures.

Hope that helps.

Have you thought of those much more challenging
categories:

- Most impenetrable / worst written / least
explanatory / hardest to read/understand
- Most repetitive
- Least grammatical / worst translated

PS: Stephen, earlier correspondence on this
record-breaking thread did
suggest expanding beyond US, the Taiwan 'Jug' patent
was unfortunately
quickly replaced by this very old but interesting
2-char 1836 US
patent:
AX

PPS: A note to contributors: it helps if you can
indicate the patent
number because tracking based on limited lead(s) can
be very painful.
