Google Patents record for US20150028160A1, read November 2026
The inventors record had never printed a failed claim as a failure; it now does, on the strongest paper a failure can have — the patent office's own status line. On 29 January 2015 the United States application "Wingtip for a general aviation aircraft," US20150028160A1, was published in the name of John Gregory Roncz, sole inventor, claiming priority from 1 June 2013: a wingtip beginning as an NACA 23012 section inboard, drawn for Beechcraft Bonanza-type aircraft. The application's legal status, as Google Patents carries the office record, is ABANDONED. It never granted. No patent stands behind it, no rights flowed from it, and it is not counted in the granted side of the town's patent record anywhere in this build. What stands is exactly this: a filed and published application by the town's aerodynamicist, prosecuted and then let go — printed here as a failure, in the inventors leg where failures belong, rather than left to be mistaken for a patent by any reader who meets its publication number elsewhere.
