Saucer s-1
Page 29
'I figured out how to wire a laser printer to it. This morning Charley and I filed twenty-six patents on saucer technology.' 'Twenty-six?'
'Wellstar sent us a couple of engineers to help with the applications. You remember Dutch Haagen? He works for us now.'
Rip shook his head in amazement. Egg continued, 'We figure if we can do maybe three patent applications a week for the next ten weeks or so, we'll pretty well have the critical stuff covered. I put all three of our names on the patent applications, signed for you as your attorney in fact.' 'Okay, but… '
'You may recall that we gave Wellstar an interest in the propulsion technology in return for a bill of sale. I thought we might license the propulsion stuff, make enough money to keep me in a nursing home and you and Charley in tall cotton. With your consent, I thought we might put the rest of the patents in the public domain, make them available to whoever wants to use them, anywhere in the world.'
Rip grinned broadly. 'Sounds great to me. Charley, what do you say?'
'The saucer used to belong to everyone, didn't it? Now it will again. I like that.'
Rip and Charley had walked a couple of blocks hand in hand when Charley remarked, 'Do you realize that we don't have anything to fly?'
