The text on the patent says ‘ornamental design for a military vehicle’ which I think is basically patentspeak for the appearance. So nobody else can make models (virtual or otherwise) of anything too close in appearance to those drawings, apart from the historical E-50 of course. (Trying to recall now if there was any information on the turret they planned to put on it.)

This means that it might be theoretically possible to break the patent by building a functional machine.

I think this article is a bit mistaken, as this is not a patent in the sence of technical solution, but this is design (for silenstalker in czhech it is: průmyslový vzor). It means it does not protect the function or technical solution but the shape/design of the tank, from this point you can have design protection for strangely shape dildo as well. Patents for technical sollution start only with US not USd as designs.

So now that they’ve patented it, that means they’re going to build a real-life functional one, right? They have to.

Because back in those days USPTO (US Patent and Trademark Office) was trying to prove how incredibly retarded they really are by approving various Apple “design patents” (“rectangle with rounded corners” and the like) and stories about court battles between Apple and other telephone manufacturers (mostly Samsung though) made headlines every couple of days.

They trolled the USPTO retards.

They can’t patent something that is made after official concept documents.

Well, if they can invent their own patented vehicles on the basis of mid-20th-century designs and tech, I think a WG branch is now officially justified. .-.
