His ability to make the machine work is intellectual property whether he has a patent or not. It is a trade secret. Stealing a trade secret is unethical if not illegal. Xanthoulis was bragging in the press that he steals trade secrets from his business partners. You would be crazy to sign a contract with someone who says that. Rossi may file for another patent, and he may get it. So he still has intellectual property in that sense as well. - Jed
