Wonder what? 'Will it protect the owner from competitors'? I seriously doubt it. If it 'describes a great vape or improvement'? That might be but the proof is in the testing I think, lots looks better on paper than in the hand.
You can patent darn near anything, they're happy to take your money, but it's up to you to
defend that patient. I've 'been there'.
For Patent protection to work the idea has to be novel, that is 'not something readily apparent to those skilled in the field'. From what I see I'm confident challengers could easily demonstrate that key features were already common fare for vape makers let alone other technicians and engineers who work with devices that heat samples to emit vapors? Sometimes called 'prior art'. Lots of patents on vapes already out there, too. I was told by the guys at Thermovape that their lawyers could find no useful patent protection for most of their stuff and it's sure a LOT different than most. And they put some serious bucks into the effort.
You can also be dead right, with a solid patent to protect you and go down in flames......and bankruptcy. There's no law against 'jumping a guy's patent', you have to have sue them. And that could be someone like Joytech who has more resources than many countries.
I worked with a fellow years ago who started a company in Japan with two friends right after the Navy. They invented and patented in many countries a game called "Golf In". A large booth with a 35mm projector and film strip of say Pebble Beach every ten yards. First AstroTurf I ever saw came from the floor, he had a piece in his souvenir box. The screen was made of one inch strips with a ball trap behind it, you'd 'hit your golf ball down the fairway' using your own Driver. Light traps measured the speed of the ball, calculated the range, blanked the screen, racked off the right number of frames and showed you the new position as it returned your ball. You could read the range to the pin on a display, change clubs and go again. The light traps were in a Vee shape so hooks and slices read slow and incur a range penalty.
Golf courses were very rare and very popular in Japan (go figure), they made seven booths which were extremely popular (courses would
take reservations for play.......). They geared up to make production units and Bally (the pin ball guys) jumped them. Four years later they won, Bally was prohibited from making similar games but they were bankrupt. No more Golf In. Bally locked out a competitor that could have been trouble for them in other markets (wise, Jim and his buds were discussing 'what next', including what became video games......).
Made a great entry on his Resume: "Was intimately involved in all steps from conception through bankruptcy". He was a 'soft head' (programmer) when I knew him, fun guy, once proposed we streamline production planning by computing the average stock number....... I think AIDS got him in the end.
I'd stay clear of it, unless it becomes a great vape of course. Could be a bad horse to back with your hard earned money.
