Dear all,
Who knows Steris Corporation's wavelens technology for super-focus capability of surgical lights. Because that's a pending patent, so if we want to research products such as surgical lights, it should not be infringement.or anybody who knows similar patent in pending for any other corporation? It would be quite appreciate if any one can through a line.:thanx:

Hello there!

Now note, I am certainly not claiming to be a subject-matter expert, but I hope you don't mind that I try to provide some help.

I'm a little confused as to exactly what your question is regarding. Here is a page on the Harmony® LC Surgical Lighting System.

Surprisingly, there is quite a bit of information on it. Is that the lighting system you are speaking of?

As far as the patents, hopefully there is someone at your organization who deals with patents. Specifically, you would need to determine exactly what is being patented with the light. There is something unique to their technology (delivery, instruments, something...) which they are able to patent. Likewise, any search on similar products will give you the specifics upon which the patents are already issued.

Saying all this, I would think that you want to build a better mouse trap. So you would want to design something uniquely different than existing lights; this is your competitive advantage. That uniqueness, will be the area you will seek to patent.

Otherwise, build what you want, and research that no part of the product (from start to finish) violates existing patents. That can get tricky, as many are awfully close to one another. But if you can do that, realize that you won't have patent protection; so you will have to recoup your R&D dollars fairly quickly.:D

yeah, I totally agree with you.
Hamorney LC surgical lighting system is right the products I have suggested.
Thank you for your advice. I think it's important to do more research work on this product.:read:it's not easy to develop a new product and not intrude other person's patent.
