3-Ring Binders: Beyond the Basics
Ring binders are 132 years old. It is time to replace them with new style binders. Cut from flexible sheet of material. No rings, No metal or plastic parts involved. Adjusting automatically to the thickness of pages inside. Patent pending. The question faced by the inventor right now is of they should focus on EU or try to survive in USA (Efficient Infringement - seems is official policy) More and more inventors are currently going to EU and China since there patent protection is real. the 2011 AIA (American Invention ACT) effect is drop in 50% range of US patent and increasing flow of inventors looking for greener pastures abroad far away from dictated by BIG Tech. Google, Amazon, Facebook...) current US anti patent policy.Thanks to the 2011 AIA act no inventor in a garage is able to compete with the tech giants. He/she will be steam rolled in oblivion.
Great solutions! We use Nakedbinder.com a lot for binders as well! 100% recyclable and a great clean look!! Check them out.
really don't like binders. they take up a lot of space when empty (although those de-mountable ones are pretty cool). the punched holes get enlarged and ripped on the binder rings so when you eventally digitise them the pages snarl together and get stuck in the scanner, it is not fun. the trianglar footprint of a binder that isn't full is really annoying too. and the way you have to slowly paw through them, and turn pages with both hands to stop them sticking on the rings. manila folders are best.
