Five thousand inventions in limbo and under "secrecy orders" at the US Patent Office
By Jon Rappoport
Buckle up. Here we go.
From FAS (Federation of American Scientists), Secrecy
News, Oct. 21, 2010, "Invention Secrecy Still Going Strong," by Steven
Aftergood:
"There were 5,135 inventions that were under secrecy orders
at the end of Fiscal Year 2010, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office
told Secrecy News last week. It's a 1% rise over the year before, and
the highest total in more than a decade."
"Under the Invention Secrecy Act of 1951, patent
applications on new inventions can be subject to secrecy orders
restricting their publication if government agencies believe that
disclosure would be 'detrimental to the national security'."
"The current list of technology areas that is used to screen
patent applications for possible restriction under the Invention Secrecy
Act is not publicly available and has been denied under the Freedom of
Information Act. (An appeal is pending.)..."
"Most of the listed technology areas are closely related to military applications. But some of them range more widely."
"Thus, the 1971 list indicates that patents for
solar photovoltaic generators were subject to review and possible
restriction IF THE PHOTOVOLTAICS WERE MORE THAN 20% EFFFICIENT. Energy
conversion systems were likewise subject to review and possible
restriction IF THEY OFFERED CONVERSION EFFICIENCIES 'IN EXCESS OF
70-80%'." (Emphasis is mine.)
"One may fairly ask if disclosure of such technologies could
really have been 'detrimental to the national security,' or whether the
opposite would be closer to the truth. One may further ask what
comparable advances in technology may be subject to restriction and
non-disclosure today. But no answers are forthcoming, and the invention
secrecy system persists with no discernible external review."
If you're one of those people who maintains that advanced
technology is being held away from the public, here is an overall
smoking gun that validates your stance.
And you can see that breakthrough energy tech, which would
radically lessen the need for oil, would be on the
secrecy-do-not-release list.
What else is on the list? Old Tesla patents, for example?
The US Patent Office is an official chokepoint for the "planned society"---or should we say the "restricted society."
But this is not to say advanced technology is always shelved
or scuttled. The patent applications, in suspended animation at the US
Patent Office, can be quietly disclosed, for example, to government
researchers engaged in black-budget projects, where the data and the
research are turned to "other uses."
Innovative inventors, who can revolutionize society for the
good, incur risks if they submit their patent applications to the State.
Getting trapped in limbo, while outright theft of their research
occurs, is one of those risks.
On the other hand, if a giant corporation has an invention
that deploys the genetic engineering of food crops, and adds millions of
tons of toxic pesticides to the environment, its patent application
sails through review at the Patent Office.
