Imposters- Anyone who claims that they’re attaining they’re own patent because their rotating balloon apparatus is different from Patent 6,167,924 is providing false information. Utility patents are not based on design but on its claims. No utility patent will be issued for a rotating balloon apparatus to anyone else in the world, since one already has been issued to Gary and Linda Buckley in January of 2001. Only in a Design Patent can someone alter the design by a certain percentage and avoid patent infringement. Gary and Linda Buckley have a Utility Patent not a Design Patent.

The claims stated in patent 6,167,924 would be virtually impossible to replicate without infringement. Any rotating balloon apparatus that violates the first claim and sub claims (a, b, c, d and e) will be in violation and infringing on patent 6,167,924. The design basically covers 22 claims.

First Claim:

1. A balloon rotation apparatus comprising:

(a) A base:

(b) A rotator plate rotatably located relative to the base on a main axis and having an air passage opening therein;
