content: Yeah apple is hoping their wireless charging patentsApple is trying to patent wireless charging, claiming its magnetic resonance tech is new and that it can do it better than anyone else. Apple's application, numbered 20120303980, makes much of its ability to charge a device over the air at a distance of up to a meter, rather than requiring close proximity.http://www.theregister.co.uk/2012/12/03/apple_charging_patent/

content: That was patented over 100 years ago and even if they altered their patent to not conflict there are places like MIT that hold the patents too.http://www.google.com/patents/US1119732?dq=1,119,732&hl=en&sa=X&ei=7vq9UI7sJY6E8QSk0IGYAg&ved=0CDcQ6AEwAA

content: LOL!I hope they'll get it. That would be another nail in the coffin of the current patent system.

content: I wonder if I can get a patent on bullshit patent applications. You know, an end run on these trolls. It would be nice to see actual innovation.

content: Claim 2 talks of a re-resonator circuit and the applications flow chart describes a secondary wireless charging circuit.This looks like the wireless transmission of power to device one which in turn is re-radiated to device two.And who would have thought of connecting 'two leaky pipes' >> so non-obvious and most likely to be approved

content: Prior art is the bandpass filter in the spectrum analyser Dave did recently - One element couples power to an isolated element, that in turn radiates to a third and so on till it is coupled to the output................. In this application a filter, but it does couple power.
