For information
A Submarine Patent is a Patent which an ‘ inventor’ files on a device or technology that doesn’t exist yet, or which has not yet been successfully implemented. Using various procedural mechanisms, the filer intentionally delays issue of the Patent until a practical implementation of the device/ technology appears on the market. At that time the filer allows the Patent to’ come to the surface’ and demands royalties from the party who did the real work.
