The Trustees of the Electronic Game Cards, Inc. Bankruptcy are offering the sale of two U.S. Patent Office filings:

?The original patent U.S. Patent # 5,178,389 is entitled "Electronic Game Card."(It may be viewed online)
?The U.S. Patent Application # 2004/0235550, entitled "Game Device". (may also be viewed online)
These inventions were originally developed in the U.K. by John Bentley and Gordon McNally.

In addition to the two U.S. filings, there are three foreign filings owned by the Company. The foreign filings are registered with the WIPO. All 5 filings are being sold as a single Lot. The foreign filings may be viewed by searching the U.S. corporate name.

Berkley Insurance Company has also agreed to release any and all liens it has against the foreign filings, according to the Trustee.

The Assignment database currently shows both the patent and the application are assigned to a Berkley Insurance Company of Greenwich, CT. These were held as collateral for debt owed by the corporation. The insurance firm has agreed to reassign both to the successful bidder, according to the Trustees.

The WIPO has a facility to search International and National Patent Collections. These three separate filings may be found by a Search. The details of the three patents may be further viewed by selecting the "Name" under the "Main IPC" category and the descriptions are available in English, as well as, French and German.

There may be short lead times to insure these filings are renewed properly. You may have your own IP attorneys verify payment amounts due or he may contact: Clifford Want, Esq. of the IP firm of Harrison Goddard Foote, located in London, UK. Email at: cwant@hfg.com.

Note: The two links above to the U.S. Patent Office and the link to the WIPO provide access to the actual patent filings for due diligence.
