End Tun the patent system . Invert the process:
* purposefully spread out your innovation as broadly and quickly as you can ;
It becomes quickly un patentable as common knowledge
* sell not just hardware but the plans for it
From this you gain a network of like minds , “market exposure” if you will.
What happens from that is ;
You sell product
You get calls for assistance;
You sell manuals
But well beyond both ;
You get a community of shared interests ; Access to skills and resources way beyond your own .
All of which is quite a-patentable,
There is this great group of folks already involved in this activity: it’s called the Stoves and Biofuels group....
Aluta -inherently- continúa friends,

Dear AD
The answer is quite simple: some countries are 'inspecting' and others are not. South Africa, for example, is not. You can apply for, and register a patent on water as a 'universal solvent' and it will be granted.
A patent is a license to sue. If you want to waste your money on invalid and unforceable patents, lawyers will take it. So will the patent office. Any patent can be challenged, and they frequently are. To defeat one all you have to do is show prior art that was not put into the public domain by irregular means.
Inspecting countries like the USA inspect the available records to see if it is likely to stand up in court. Generally, a patent is only considered valid if it has been upheld in an American court, which costs $180,000.

The persons who file such fraudulent patents either don't care to see what others have done, or they are charlatans, and the officers in the patent office are ignorant or corrupt. A moving drum biogas model which one can see in all textbooks, was given an Indian patent, a few years ago. I don't know how the applicant managed to get it. In any case, our organization has installed several hundred such biogas plants and a plastic tank manufacturing firm is selling them by the hundreds and so far nobody has challenged us.
