I am pleased to announce that the Micronational Professional Registry (MPR) has today registered its first regular patent:
Pranageticsεν,εμ,π
Besides being a real professional registry, the MPR also issues independent intellectual property instruments such as Print Monopolies (PM), Enterprise Names (εν), Enterprise Marks (εμ), and MPR Patents (π).
A Print Monopoly (PM) is our version of the copyright, but unlike copyrights, PMs don't expire. Real example of a PM:
Tallini, Cesidio. (2009). All Religions Are Cults: And What a Few Good Priests, Monks, Rabbis and Mullahs Can Do About It [ISBN: 1449553559].
Great book, by the way.
An Enterprise Name (εν) is simply a name of a product or company you wish to protect. Real world example:
"The Empress State" (that's Independent Long Island's nickname).
An Enterprise Mark (εμ) is a logo or symbol associated with a product or company. Real world example:
An MPR Patent (π) is a special MPR right granted to anyone who invents or discovers any new and useful process, machine, article of manufacture, or any new and useful improvement on a previous patent. The "process" can be also mathematical/algorithmic, so it can also be a new numerical method or software. However, biological patents are not accepted. Until today there was only one MPR Patent (π) in existence:
Tallini, Cesidio. (2006). Logarithms algorithm for calculating logarithms of any base through a series of divisions.
So far three real published books are covered by Print Monopoly (PM), that is, the "copyright page" contains no copyright statement but a print monopoly statement. There is also an Italian-language micronational magazine which has a PM, as well as several websites, some not even my own.
Several names or logos are also covered by Enterprise Name (εν) or Enterprise Mark (εμ) respectively. Check this page for additional real examples:
