Title: A Patentability Assessment For The Polar Squared Impulse Response Method
Abstract: A new method for obtaining and calculating directional squared impulse re- sponses (IRs), and hence locating re ective surfaces in rooms, is assessed for patentability purposes. It is compared to other methods of obtaining direc- tional impulse response measurements, including the polar energy-time curve method. It is determined that the new method passes three requirements for patentability but fails the test of unobviousness. A draft patent for this method is included in case patentability is determined more favorably in the future.
