Ping-Pong Paddle of the Future

The story of BARMAN revolves around an innovative table tennis paddle that I invented back in college. Were you ever able to secure the rights to the patent? I'm frequently asked. Or rather, I'm occasionally asked. Someone asked me once. Yes, I did. Patent Number 5,549,294 was born on August 27, 1996. Here is the first page of the eleven page patent:

If you want a closer look, the publisher has reproduced a copy of the patent in the new BARMAN paperback. Also, if you have questions about the invention process, please don't hesitate to email me.
