I received some feedback in email that suggested that while the full costs of IP aren't paid by the property owner, that there is "maintenance fees" that exist for patents. The "Canadian Intellectual Property Office" can be found at: http://strategis.ic.gc.ca/sc_mrksv/cipo/ Which lists fees at: http://strategis.ic.gc.ca/sc_mrksv/cipo/patents/e-filing/fee.htm The US Patent and Trademark office is at: http://www.uspto.gov/ With the various fees at: http://www.uspto.gov/web/offices/ac/qs/ope/1999/fee2000.htm --- Russell McOrmond, Internet Consultant: <http://russell.flora.org/work/> http://www.flora.org/flora.comnet-www/1637 Community radio going private? http://www.flora.org/flora.comnet-www/1640 If you really "Loved me" http://www.flora.org/flora.comnet-www/1641 Reponsibility and monopolies
