Canada claims Aussie Stole their Patent on how to put paint on metal,hence on some of our commemorative coins,Australia claims it was ( sufficiently different to have not infringed )..on a similar point,Australia patented the first polymer note in 1973..in the 1980s and 1990s Canada tested a polymer,$20's and $50's were auctioned in 2012,the Americans developed a polymer substrate and trademarked it as DuraNote,,so it is still polymer but altered the same as the paint on the coins has been altered,what do you think,is this all a waste of money..>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<..http://nationalpost.com/news/canada/royal-canadian-mint-sues-royal-australian-mint-in-row-over-printing-of-red-poppies https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polymer_banknote Related image

Best answer!

Sorry but I can't get too excited about lawsuits concerning patent rights. Businesses sue each other regularly over patents, names, mottos, logos, etc. It costs companies lots of money to go to court over these issues but most can well afford it. We all know that government has endless amounts of money to have court cases go on forever. How important is this issue? In my opinion, not very but perhaps I'm missing something.

Emphasis on "smart minds" and "problem solve". We're talking government here. :)

While the original was rated at 40m of water resistance, this 2020 version clocks in at 200m of water resistance. A lot link of that link is owed to the new mineral crystal instead of acrylic crystal from the '60s. The Weekly Auto Orient King Diver is the perfect combination of specs at the right price point to beat up, you can toss it on and not worry about link putting it through the paces.
