Filed in 2017: How 1,752 Inventions Established Prior Art Before the Industry Caught Up
The 2017 BuyInvent Catalog
In 2017, I published a catalog of 1,752 inventions through BuyInvent.com. Each entry was documented with a description, copyright notice, and catalog reference image. This was not a business plan or a wish list — it was a published, timestamped catalog of specific technological concepts that established public prior art.
The first invention in that catalog — number 1, “1 light trigger” — describes the optical quantum mechanism that would become the foundation for the Quantum Battery (Project 5) and, by extension, the power system of the NCS-19. In 2017, quantum battery research was largely theoretical. Today, institutions worldwide are racing to develop quantum energy storage. The prior art was established three to eight years ahead of the field.
Satellite-Specific Inventions
The BuyInvent catalog contains numerous entries directly relevant to the NCS-19:
- #101, #102: Satellite communication concepts
- #104: Satellite propulsion
- #1010: Government encrypted phone
- #1011: Military encrypted phone
- #1012: Public encrypted phone
- #1041: Cell tower alternatives (direct-to-device precursor)
- #1126: Satellite-connected drones
- #1173-1176: Alpha channel encrypted radio
Every one of these concepts, published in 2017, predates the current wave of direct-to-phone announcements, satellite blockchain proposals, and quantum battery research papers.
33 USPTO Patent Applications
Beyond the BuyInvent catalog, 33 formal USPTO patent applications have been filed between 2012 and 2025:
- 20+ utility applications covering specific implementations
- 6+ design applications protecting visual and structural designs
- 7+ provisional applications establishing priority dates
- Most recent: Application 19/177,547 filed April 12, 2025
The complete list of all 33 patent application numbers is included in the NCS-19 package as google_patents_search_list.txt, formatted for direct lookup on Google Patents.
Why Prior Art Matters
In patent law, prior art determines who was first. The 2017 BuyInvent catalog, combined with the formal USPTO filings, creates a documented timeline showing that the core concepts underlying the NCS-19 — optical quantum power, encrypted satellite phone, satellite blockchain, direct-to-device connectivity — were conceived and published years before competitors entered these spaces. This is not just historical interest; it is the legal and commercial foundation of the entire project’s value.
