   Hi,

   I am a patent researcher and I am conducting a search related to an illuminated cupholder. I am looking for a cupholder (possibly in a custom interior for a limo) with LED lighting or a plastic ring within the cupholder that lights up to help a user find the cup holder in the dark. I need a public disclosure (a car featured in a magazine or trade journal, a car sold or shown at a trade show. Can you point me to any magazines or trade publications that relate to custom coach, car, limo, airplane or marine interiors that would have been around before 2000?

   The patent I am trying to invalidate was filed in December 1999, so anything I find has to be older than that. I can offer a cash reward for a publication or piece of prior art that helps me in my search. Thanks for your time.

   Hello Cal,

   I would start by looking into the Limo Digest(www.limodigest.com) or the LCT Magazine at http://www.lctmag.com. I gurantee you they have old records of past issues published. Illuminated cup holders have been around for a long time.
