I haven't re-invented the spork but i have invented foldable skis... (i haven't really). But is the concept of foldable skis patentable, or do i need to show the hinge mechanism etc?

And if i google "foldable skis" haven't i broadcast the idea in someway which ruins my patent application?

My guess, and it is a guess is this.

You would patent the mechanism that allows the skis to be foldable, the idea of foldable skis is both obvious and likely already discussed.

but what if the catch and hinge to be used are readily available in shops? Does that mean foldable skis are not patentable?

Well if all you do is buy a hinge and some ski's, you have not really invented anything have you?

But you would need more than that, you would need a locking mechanism, not just hinges, that stops them re-folding and locked in use.

Assuming you don't just buy some pre made locking mechanism, then it is this part that you would patent.

(I Assume).

i think this has foresight... when humans are booted off of what's left of Earth after a huge meteorite hits, or World War 7.... and they're all in space hotels..... you can't recreate gravity, but you can mimmick it with centrifugal force....!!!!

I'm buying shares in this !!!

(and i bet there's a rack on the space ship with all their fold-up skis in !!!!!)
