VERAND CALUROSO! TOMAAD Question Homework Exercise 1 Sem 2 2023 Ottiline is a qualified architect and runs her own business using the name Marsh Flower Architects ("MFA"). Her business develops solutions to speciality projects relating to sustainable heating and cooling of modern high-rise glass buildings. She employs a team of heating and cooling specialist architects and engineers working with her on client projects the "MFA team". Her MFA team are aware of the known systems for heating and cooling such as air-conditioning, gas exchange (argon and others), window films, and reflective surfaces. One of Ottiline's projects involves making double or triple glazed windows more energy efficient. Current engineering and scientific knowledge relating to energy efficiency has focused on the insulation properties of double and triple glazing of windows. Double glazing involves two sheets of glass with a cavity between each pane. Triple glazing involves three panes of glass with two cavities created between the three sheets. Double and Triple glazing have a great advantage in that they significantly reduce noise from outside being heard in the building. The disadvantage is that glazed windows trap heat in the cavities which results in results in increased heat being transmitted into the building. The solution has been found in industry to use argon gas to fill the gaps between double /triple glazing to reduce the heat transference into the building. Argon gas is used in gaps between the panes because it is denser than air and thus does not conduct heat meaning it assisting in cooling a room. Argon is an excellent insulator. This has advantages in both cold and hot climates when windows are filled with argon. The argon windows bring the temperature of the window closer to room temperature. Ottiline whilst working in an old office notices the radiator (room heater filled with water). The radiator has hot water pumped through it to heat the room. The water comes from a boiler in the basement. She suddenly thinks why not use the windows on a high-rise building to heat the water using the heat generated from the sun. There is so much sun in Australia! She develops a system to integrate water flow through the buildings windows to the ventilation system to heat the air circulating in winter and to cool the air in summer. Water is channelled into the top of window and out of the window back to the heating system. The flow of water is specifically controlled to maximise the efficiency of heat transfer and creates energy efficiencies as the windows become the heat absorbing mechanism. Her idea would remove the heat from the window as is transferred to the water circulating between the glass sheets of the window. She develops her idea further producing drawings at home in her own time, and realises this simple idea of combining two systems that exist in buildings would revolutionise energy efficiency in tall building. Ottiline uses an Artificial Intelligence program called MUGUS to develop the optimal thinness of the gap between the glass to enable the water to flow and to appear clear to the naked eye. MUGUS provides Ottiline with final drawings and prints a 3D version of the window from the drawings. Ottiline discloses the prototype and the idea to her MFA team to verify her proof of concept and to assess the system to see does it work in practice before committing to mass production. Her team are amazed that the system works as no one has thought to combine windows into the heating or ventilation systems of high- rise buildings. The known systems are about creating a barrier to heat transfer into the building and providing separate sources of heat/cooling for the ventilation system through individual units on the roof. There are existing patents for the argon gas system for windows and patents for heating and cooling systems using units on the roof of buildings that use gas filled tubes to heat or cool the air for ventilation. These existing patents do not combine systems, or use heat drawn from windows or water. Ottiline tells her MFA team this prototype and her idea cannot be disclosed to anyone as this is still in the research and development phase. Further testing and modelling by her MFA team shows remarkable increases in energy efficiency and cost reduction in heating and cooling of high buildings. These tests are normal tests architects/engineers conduct as part of any testing of a new system. The tests do not result in significant changes to the idea or the initial plans Ottiline developed and showed them. From the tests of the prototype at MFA it is predicted that Water-Filled Glass system can reduce energy bills by around 35 per cent on current systems using argon and more for those using normal glass. Ottiline is excited about her invention and is now investigating the option of patenting the water-filled glass system. She wants to disclose her invention at an engineering and architecture conference in September 2023 to obtain sales of the prototype to fund the mass production of her invention. Question Explain to Ottiline does she invention meet the elements for obtaining a patent under s18 of the Patents Act 1990 (Cth). Include in your discussion whether the disclosure at a conference can affect her patent rights, and what she can do to protect her right. Illustrate your arguments with cases and relevant sections of the Patent Act 1990. In your answer you can assume that the invention when described will meet the criteria of usefulness.
