PESN had the following to say concerning the latest info on Rossi's attempt to get adequate patent protection:
http://pesn.com/2012/02/02/9602025_E-Cat_Weekly_February2/ ***************************************************************** * Patents - On January 17, 2012, T.O. wrote: "I have a very good friend, that is high ranking, in the patent office and he said he would check where the application is in the process." - On January 31, 2012, T.O. wrote: "I found out today that the E-Cat patent is through the security section and now is in a cue to be assigned to a Patent Examiner. My friend thought that at current workflow that it should be done by the end of the year. Of course things could change. He could not say if it would be approved or denied." When this was forwarded to Andrea Rossi on Feb. 2, he responded: Dear Sterling, we know. Warm Regards, A. ***************************************************************** I assume Rossi is referring to his attempts to get adequate USA patent protection. At first glance what Rossi seems to be saying here does not strike me as terribly encouraging news. It's sounds so iffy to me. What would stop the USPO from denying Rossi's patent application as just another one of those infernal CF contraptions for which patent researchers were presumably told to discard? Or worse, what's to stop them from simply placing Rossi's application on-hold, perhaps because a new memo just came down the pipeline instructing that all new "CF" related applications be placed in a special folder where someone higher up in the food chain will deal with the matter - later. Much later. Comments? Regards Steven Vincent Johnson www.OrionWorks.com www.zazzle.com/orionworks
