really my mean is that HOW a country patent department give a patent to a person?
I don't claim to understand how patents work in the UK, never mind elsewhere in the world, but from what I can gather you need a LOT of money to protect your patent. If you had your location filled in, perhaps we would have an idea where you might be?.
For the UK you could try looking at
**broken link removed** for useful advice, presumably your country will have a similar site?.
it seems giving a patent at alot of countries is based on claim, this means if you say i have made this thing and there is not any the same thing like that then patent department will give you a patent.
No idea, but generally you have to prove it's an origina idea, and have a reasonale chance of working (although there are huge numbers of pertetual motion machines that have been granted patents in the past).
why it is pointless Nigel , do you want t say there is no any international patent department? if my understanding about your words be correct then i can do a search in the net and for a new device that has a patent from its country and make that at my country and get a patent too?
Theft is still theft, regardless of patents, I suggest you try investigating patent application in your country! -bear in mind it's NOT chaep to register a patent.
then suppose a company want to manufacture that thing then it can make it without any permit from inventor or suppose it have to buy it acording to an international law then from which one it must purchase that thing?from the inventor or from me?
How much money do you have?, could you afford to fight a massively expensive patent battle in a foreign court?.
International law tends to be a fairly vague affair.
