Once the International Searching Authority (ISA) of the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has determined that my international patent application "Full-surface detached vorticity method and system for solving fluid dynamics" (WO/2024/136634) , under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT), meets all three criteria for patentability ( novelty, inventive step, and industrial applicability ), it will be time to make an open offer to exploit such an invention (in the prosecution phase) through a Patent Licensing Agreement (PLA). Fig. 1 The generation of vorticity on surfaces is a purely inviscid mechanism (Morton, 1984, and Terrington et al., 2022). This time I will not write about the technical aspects of the patent (or how wonderful it is! ), since I did that in a previous post:  More patents, less papers (librepenzzzador.blogspot.com) . Now, I want to focus on my business proposal. Since I have some experience as an entrepreneur in engineering ( www. chuteshiut...

Recently, my second journal article in the series ( The Unsteady Full Multi-wake Vortex Lattice Method: a full rolled-up detached vorticity approach [1]) was declined for publication four months after its acceptance (already peer-reviewed) in a second quartile (Q2) journal. This is not due to a lack of consistency in methodology or results, but due to lack of payment of the Article Processing Charge (APC)!, which neither the university nor the Science Council 'can' afford, although both of them are included in the remaining two articles, published without APC in a Q1 journal. Fortunately, I have never been interested in becoming a  paper-publishing researcher  to try to play the game imposed by the current academic system; I have only published my research as a requirement to obtain my PhD degree. However, this does not mean that I believe that knowledge should be restricted; ideally, the knowledge should be open and universal, especially when it concerns the foundations of a ...
