On social media, they saying that Terrance Howard really is smart and they tryna give him credit for AR/VR technology. EDIT debunked

[Professor Emeritus]

He does hold 11 "design patents". But design patents are not patents on technology, a requirement of the "design patent" is that you're merely patenting a particular aesthetic design that has no use. In Terrence Howard's case, he's patenting various shapes he made with pieces of plastic glued together. His wife stated in a an interview that he sometimes makes her work on these things with her up to 17 hours a day.


You can see an example of those patents here. They're literally just.....pretty shapes. That's the only things he's ever gotten any patents approved for.

Inventor : T . Dashon Howard , Chicago , IL ( US )

That is literally the only sort of thing he has ever been granted a patent for.

 

[O.T.I.S.]

Looks like the VR patent was abandoned.

He says due to the amount of fee’s he had to pay for it

And it makes sense… look who cited his patent after it was abandoned

Yo... Im in this hitch dying

He says due to the amount of fee’s he had to pay for it

the patent fees would be easy work for an inventor making 6 figures.

terrance had much more than that... the fees aint that high

And he was lying to you breh. This has already been explained numerous times.


1) The patent was almost immediately rejected and marked as derivative right when he submitted it, so it wasn't on any path to being granted no matter how many fees he paid.

2) Anyone, even you, can read the patent application and SEE why it was rejected. He doesn't describe any new technology or technological breakthrough. There's nothing special in the application at all, it's just a generic-ass description of VR with an arbitrary setup.

3) Breh already explained to you that there would never, ever be significant fees at that stage in the process.

4) The citations are meaningless, they're just bulk cites of a bunch of VR patents. Not a single one of those patent applications which cite his patent say they got anything from Howard's application at all, which makes sense because there's NOTHING in there for anyone to learn from. It comes off like an attempted wikipedia entry for what VR is by someone who doesn't know how to write proper wikipedia entries yet.

5) You and that weird Doomsday guy were told this over and over, by the people who can actually read, and you claimed we were stupid and "owned" by the fact that the patent existed....until you finally figured out that the application itself proves the patent application was abandoned without ever being granted.

These dude obviously has mental issues, hope he doesn't waste his money on all the bullshyt he keeps "building", mental issues usually get worse with age.

No, it wouldnt if it was consistent 6 figures

And he wasn't making that much in 2009/2010 when he filed it.

He has other patents to pay for

Plus, the patent office charges you on how complex the patent is. He said the prices they were charging him seemed like they were ripping him off. He let it go

 

[Voice of Reason]

A lot of people are ignorant idiots to believe his BS.

have you ever been part of the process to file a patent?

lol, I have (assisting others in getting their drawings together) and I had a close relationship with a patent attorney (RIP Sandy)

 

[Majestyx]

Ridiculous

 

[Professor Emeritus]

No, it wouldnt if it was consistent 6 figures

It wasn't 6 figures though. That's an absolute, obvious lie. Why would someone be asked to pay 6 figures on a patent that had already been rejected anyway? The patent office wouldn't even be asking for maintenance fees for a patent that had never been accepted, the most he'd pay is application fees which are minimal.

And he wasn't making that much in 2009/2010 when he filed it.

lol, he had just made $4.5 million for doing Ironman in 2008. He also starred in Fighting in 2009, voiced James in The Princess and the Frog in 2009, starred in Law & Order: Los Angeles in 2010, and starred in both The Ledge and Winnie Mandela in 2011. And that's after having gotten mad work in 2005-2007 (Crash, Ray, Hustle & Flow, Four Brothers, Animal, Get Rich or Die Tryin', Idlewild, Pride, The Hunting Party, The Brave One, August Rush, Awake, The Perfect Holiday)

Claiming that Terrence Howard couldn't afford the same patent fees that no-name tinkerers pay every day might be worse than 1x1=2.

He has other patents to pay for

Are you claiming he avoided paying a patent for "$7 trillion technology" because he was too busy paying for patents on little pieces of plastic glued together?

Plus, the patent office charges you on how complex the patent is.

But the patent ISN'T complex. It's simple as fukk. There is no technology or complex anything anywhere in here. It's just generic nothing.

Please, quote the complex part for me. What's the most complicated technological innovation in this whole patent?

I was CRYING in the other thread when that one dude was agreeing that 1x1=2 because believing otherwise is just us believing the white man
