If a patent is filed a long time ago, it probably got stuck in patent hell which means a few things: 1) There's already a similar patent out there, which means there's probably other companies that have filed or tried to file something similar, or competed with them for this patent. Because other companies are just as bad and really want this. 2) The patent office deemed nothing that set this out as unique and able to be patented. So it goes through many drafts until they say "Okay, this is a wholly unique concept." 3) Two and a half years ago isn't that long for a patent actually. Probably a little hiccup like I mentioned above, but tech patents are god damn nightmares because of how much you need to prove it's something wholly unique. They normally get declined at least one time, so they just revise until they get it. Patent office is terrible and obnoxious, but this isn't actually that different. --- Check out my entertainment blog!: www.heroicbiz.com I discuss video games, comics, movies, and TV! ...
