    Dear UWA team,

    i keep hearing stories that include the words

    "UWA formula SAE"
    "Patent"
    and "Chassis"

    can you guys fill us in on the patent numbers, and country of application that apply to these technologies?

    thanks

    Frank

    Frank,

    I thought I might respond. The intellectual property of the chassis technology developed last year is owned by the student who developed it ... not the team. We have been allowed to continue using it. However we are, by law, not allowed to talk about details of the process outside of the team.

    I hope you understand that this is not to keep secrets from other teams but is necessary to protect the IP from less-than-ethical companies.

    Frank,

    Sorry should add that I am currently unaware of the status of the patent application. Given my distrust of lawyers and business practices I am not losing sleep over it.

    As I said before the technology is no longer in the hands of the team.

    Did you get any help from Dr Walker?

    That patent is for the quickstep process, which from what i can see is different to what kev and the boys are up to.

    Frank,

    Do you mean Dr Laurie Walker? The guy who did a PhD at UWA?

    ...

    I've never heard of him.
