Hey!
I have the following question:
I just saw this patent here for a separate lift cruise eVTOL configuration: https://patents.google.com/patent/RU2704771C2/en granted in Russia. It reminds me a lot of the Aurora / Boeing eVTOL.
If this would have been granted in the U.S. to somebody, would Aurora / Boeing not be able to potentially sell their eVTOL? Or do many factors play a role like: how big is the opponent who is infringing my patent and my chance of winning; is this above actually the same or are there tiny details that still make them different in an eye of a judge.
Does it make sense to patent whole aircraft configurations or can you get around easily?
Other example would be Karem vs. Joby.
