[SEL] Paint Mixer-Off Topic

[Skip Cleveland]

I didn't notice if it had a patent number with it, but, all you have to do 
is prove to the patent examiner that you have a novel and patentable 
improvement on an existing patented tool or whatever. If they agree, you 
have a patent and a big target on your back. It takes an expensive patent 
attourney to make an unbeatable set of claims, if you do it on the cheap 
somebody can improve on it and on and on and on. If you do do it the right 
way, somebody will say they had it first. Now that's an expensive one.
