Attached is a picture of the first patent concerning the Discovery of 1999 and a picture of the patent of the Ice Scoop Discvovery. This Ice Scoop Discovery was the predecessor ot the present Collector: a scraper collects manure and several ''scoops'' pick up the manure. Small spoons scrape the manure out of these scoops, just like an ice-scoop. The prototype of 2011 can still be seen in the Lely museum.

could there be a post perhaps about patents? What is the most important in patenting? How do they work for Lely, etc?

Interesting topic, but this community is about the Lely history.
