Can the Product/Process be patented...

Someone asked the question if the machines, etc., is patentable? One only has to change a couple of things, or build a better mouse trap, and it will be approved. I have granted patents, and I would think that it might be patentable, based on the products to be dispensed, which, if a part of the patent could give ERBB proprietary rights. JMHO

A previous PR by the company mentions proprietary rights, which I assume to be governmental protection through patent, trademark, etc. There is so much that is being done with infusion of nutrients, oxygen, etc., that it is exciting. I am preparing a patent incorporating some of the many benefits of water infusion. Here is that PR:

Tranzbyte Begins Testing Proprietary Suspended Gas Watering System with Premier AZ Grow

TEMPE, AZ – March 4,, 2014) - Tranzbyte Corporation (OTC Pink: ERBB) (http://www.otcmarkets.com/stock/ERBB/quote) announced today that after several successful tests in California, the Altitude Organix division (which includes the ZaZZZ machine) has begun an official test with Bloom Dispensaries (http://www.bloomdispensary.com). The PROPRIETARY TECHNOLOGY HAS BEEN IN USE IN A VARIETY OF APPLICATIONS FOR OVER FOUR YEARS including Canadian grows and organic farms in both countries. The technology dramatically increases the parts per million of oxygen in water and has several benefits including reductions in grow time and increases in yield.

“Results of the early testing on marijuana grows have been spectacular and have borne out our claims,” states Dr. Mayur Dev, the company representative assisting in setting up the tests. “We are excited to more formally demonstrate the positive impact of our technology to an industry leader like Tranzbyte.” A second, larger controlled test began on March 2 in California. Based on the results of preliminary tests, Tranzbyte executed a Letter of Intent on February 12, 2014, to license this patent-pending technology for distribution throughout the marijuana growing industry in the US. We are in the process of negotiating a formal Licensing Agreement with the owners of the technology pending the results of the tests which began in Phoenix and California last weekend.

“Basically we re-create atmospheric conditions from prehistoric times. Think: the Jurassic era. Think of accomplishing the mythological ‘fifth grow.’ This serves to increase product availability and adds profit straight to the bottom line for the grower,” says Stephen Shearin, Tranzbyte’s chief operating officer. “An apparent side benefit is that several common pests associated with grow operations don’t seem to favor the higher O2 environment. It was an unintended consequence of the process, but it could be as big a feature as achieving radically increased growth. Most states are ‘seed to sale’ - meaning every group we talk to about ZaZZZ is also a candidate for the AO water.” Shearin concludes.

In order for a product such as the machine to be patentable it must meet the following criteria:

Patentability

The USPTO tests patent applications for novelty, utility, non-obviousness and description. A marketing strategy applying for protection as a process must also meet these guidelines. "Novelty" means that no protected aspect is already patented and that no one has published or publicly demonstrated the process more than a year prior to the application. "Utility" means that the process has an industrial application and the USPTO finds most anything to be useful, whereas "non-obviousness" means that the process cannot be a logical improvement or process that any person could concoct without specialized training. According to IP Watchdog, the description is key for processes.

Description
IP Watchdog states that, following the Bilski decision, a patent application for a process or strategy must clearly demonstrate through the description that the strategy constitutes a new invention. Furthermore, the description must show that this invention is "concrete and tangible." A patentable marketing strategy must go beyond concepts and constitute a novel presentation method or delivery process -- complete with a detailed technical description prepared by a patent attorney experienced in patent prosecution for processes. Hope this helps...
