I have created a multitouch screen which works on the "frustrated total internal reflection" technique. Mine is slightly different than the norm however, in the way the image is projected onto the screen. Is this difference large enough to make it a separate patentable entity from those previously pantented, or would it still be just too close. I know this is vague, but I'm more looking for whether slight differences in an invention can warrent a new patent and legal marketing of a product. (all hypothetical)
Ask for clarification if needed! Thanks!
