[DeTomaso] Hong Kong Pantera

[Julian Kift]

How does one obtain a patent on a previously manufactured design, what is new and novel?


Novelty is very strictly defined by patent law referring to originality of the idea. A supposed invention cannot be patented if the invention was known or used by others before the patent applicant invented it or if it is a modification or advance that would be obvious to a person skilled in the area. Perhaps European patent law is less stringent and that's why they filed there? Or are they just trying to preempt and quash others ability to execute on designs that seem to have popped up of late e.g. Ares Design


If those rendering are representative of ride, then this must be the "Baja" version....
