As I''ve mentioned before, my legal specialty is intellectual property, and one of the things I do at work is track patents and trademarks for diamond cuts. If you think there''ve been a lot of diamond patents lately, you''re right. But how many? 25? 50? Click the link below for the answer.

(Keep in mind that only about 75% of these are for cut designs--the patent class includes a few other things)




Diamond Patents since Jan. 1, 2000




(Note: you can view the patent documents from the links this pulls up, but you have to install a .tiff viewer plug-in first.)

Well, Ben, since I'm unusually curious, I'm plowing through those patents, aiming at finding BTD's application for the diamond dispersion coating.

Nothing yet!

You won't find applications with that search; those are issued patents. Applications are here (note: "applications," strictly speaking, refers to published but pending patents):



Published applications for 2003-04



Doesn't look like it's been published yet.
