SCENT LOK receives FINAL PATENT REJECTION !!!!
I got this off T.R. Michel's website:
[align=center]May 9, 2008, Final Rejection Notice of Patent mailed to Scent Lok[/align]
This is a photocopy of the PDF file of the Notice sent to Scent Lok on May 5, 2008. (it is below)
[align=center]
[/align]
If I understand this correctly Claims 1-8, 10, 34-39 and 41-93 are completely rejected by the Patent Office; and Claims 9, 11-33 and 40 have been cancelled by the Patent Office. I don't think Scent Lok applied for more than 93 patents, which means they have none left.

RE: SCENT LOK receives FINAL PATENT REJECTION !!!!
Here is more from his website:
If I understand this correctly it means that Scent Lok's patents are either cancelled or completely rejected, because the ideas in the Scent Lok patent application were covered by another (previous) Patent. You cannot, I repeat, you cannot, patent an idea, process or invention - that has already been patented.
If Scent Lok's past history is of any worth (they have asked for several re-examinations and appeals) - I suspect they will try to appeal this latest decision - one more time. But, if everything goes according to the law, 6 months from May 5, 2008, the Patents will be completely rejected.
If you had not thought about it, Scent Lok's repeated attempts to keep their invalid patent alive, has cost the Patent Office a lot of time and money, and do you know who pays the Patent Office's bills - we do, through our taxes.
Somebody tell Scent Lok to quit- they are costing us money.

Isn't scent lock suits just a carbon lined suit? If so the Army has been using them far langer than they have been called scent lock. They use them as chemical suits. So I'm sure someone holds a patent on that from 50-75 years ago...
just a thought.

The material Scent Lok has isn't quite like those suits. The material I have seen (I don't have one and don't believe the hype) seems to have the alledgedabsorption stuff in the fibers.
