"Newly terminated Calgary Parking Authority managers Dale Fraser and Al Bazar had listed themselves as inventors on a U.S. patent for a system for managing parking rights — casting the city’s foreign rights to the automated ParkPlus in doubt.
Records show Fraser and Bazar’s U.S. patenting application process began on Jan. 15, 2010, and is still underway. However, they applied for a PCT number, which is the worldwide patent code, in July 2007." |
Is the system honestly both revolutionary and unique enough that anything of this sort will be even worth it? Paying for parking with cell phones, credit cards, debit, etc. MUST have been done elsewhere at least as good as we have it here that nobody in their right mind would pay for our system.
