Clarified a few points in the article to make it clear that the applications were never followed through to become granted patents. 68.110.72.98 (talk) 00:22, 27 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This is not true. At the time Pedrick was active, patents were not published until grant. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.49.71.10 (talk) 13:39, 4 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Why is there no link to the actual patents? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.32.119.117 (talk) 21:49, 18 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Catflap patent

"The idea was to detect the difference in fur colour between Ginger and another cat, "Blackie" from next door. If Blackie attempted to use the cat-flap, he would not be allowed in. Ginger was impressed with the idea, and further suggested that the concept could be applied as a nuclear deterrent. Ginger's concern over the Cold War and the nuclear arsenals threatening the world was a regular motivator for Pedrick's inventions."

What? His cat was concerned with Nuclear War? -75.111.17.178 (talk) 20:27, 13 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, according to the patent application. GDallimore (Talk) 21:22, 13 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sources

Anyone wanting to expand/cite this article might find these useful. There's this in the World Patent Information journal, which I assume is a reliable source. There's also this blog; whilst a blog is not normally reliable, per WP:BLOG it may be, in this case, as the author has been working and publishing in the field for a good while (and been used as an expert by the BBC[1]).
