[sdiy] reamp/patenting in US

[Lincoln Fong]

>>Guess every thing is patent-able in the US.

If there is some truth in this can someone point me to info on taking out
such a thing. I have a UK patent I would like to extend but have been
getting very discouraging reports from the European PCT that brokers
worldwide patents. Do I have to go through them and use a lawyer etc? After
all I did the UK patent myself which cost next to nothing. The worldwide
stuff cost a fortune in lawyer fees and failed.

PS The 'reamp' is a useful device (have diy-ed several for friends). The big
advantage over electronic means is the ground isolation of a transformer.
Guitar amps are notorious ground noise antennas particularly if you run a
long lead into another room (so you can mic up) and then plug it into a
distant power socket. I'm all for manufacturing obvious gadgets if they're
handy. Don't know if I agree with the patent but live and let live...
