Foam concrete
Posted by Fazz on September 10, 2006
Hi, My name is Fazz. I have new technology of the Foam Concrete. It is light material for construction. This concrete keeps warm and cool, doesn’t mold, strong enough (depends what is density). My question how can I start produce this this concrete? How can I protect my idea? Please provide me the stage of legalisation of my new idea.
Dear Fazz,
All your questions and concerns regarding the patent procedure can be answered by the United States Patent and Trademark Office. This office has all necessary information listed on their web site: http://www.uspto.gov/go/pac/doc/general/
There you will be able to find all the information needed for a successful patent process.
Without exact knowledge of your technology, before you do so, I would suggest you look up some more information about cellular concrete or lightweight concrete, as these products can be similar to your application.
In regards to production you will be required to meet certain criteria for this type of material such as strength, fire or health necessities. These and other testing requirements can be found at IBC (International Building Code), UBC (Uniformity Building Code) or you can find specifications in ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials Standards). www.astm.org.
