John has invented a device to monitor the tire pressure on bicycle tires. This device consists of a
tire pressure sensor on the tire with a radio transmitter and a receiver mounted on the handlebars to give a readout of the pressure. The radio transmitter is similar to existing designs, but one has never been used in this way. The product cannot be produced for less than $120, but John's preliminary marketing studies indicate that the product could not be sold for more than $25. Which of the following is true? A) John cannot get a patent because the inability to produce the product at a cost low enough to sell it means that it does not meet the usefulness requirement. B) John cannot get a patent because the transmitter part is not a new invention. C) John can get a provisional patent which would provide limited protection until he can redesign it so that it can be made for under $25. D) John can obtain protection for his invention even if someone else files a patent application for the same invention so long as John actually invented his first.
