In 2009, Melissa developed a hydrogen powered engine for a car while working in her garage in her spare time. Melissa installed

the engine in a small car that she has been driving around town. In 2012, engineers working for Ford Motor Co. independently developed an identical hydrogen powered engine. After completing tests on the engine for two years, Ford filed a patent for the engine on March 1, 2014. On March 2, 2014, Melissa also filed for a patent for her engine. Assuming the engine satisfies all of the requirements for a patent, who is entitled to the patent?

Answer:

Ford

Explanation:

It's true that Melissa was the first person to develop a hydrogen powered engine for a car. The efforts of engineers from Ford Motor Co. were also independent and they also developed a similar engine as Melissa. Now when it comes to records of filing patent, Ford Motor was the first and as per the rules of patenting, the first person or organization to file patent is entitled to the patent. Therefore, Ford deserves the patent.

You find yourself in a place that is unimaginably <u>hot and dense</u>. A r<u>apidly changing</u><u> gravitational field</u><u> </u>randomly warps space and time. Gripped by these huge fluctuations, you notice that there is but a single, unified force governing the universe, you are in the early universe before the Planck time.

<h3>What is Planck time?</h3>

The Planck time is approximately<u> 10^-44 seconds</u>. The smallest time interval, or "zeptosecond," that has so far been measured is <u>10^-21 seconds</u>. A photon traveling at the speed of light would need one Planck time <u>to traverse a distance of one </u><u>Planck length</u>.

<h3>What is Planck length?</h3>

Planck units are a set of measuring units used only in particle physics and physical cosmology. They are defined in terms of <u>four universal </u><u>physical constants</u> in such a way that when expressed in terms of these units, these physical constants have the numerical value 1. These units are a system of natural units because its definition is <u>based on characteristics of nature</u>, more especially the characteristics of free space, rather than a selection of prototype object, as was the case with Max Planck's original 1899 proposal. They are pertinent to the study of unifying theories like quantum gravity.
