Haven't you read past 10-k / 10-Q?

What Benham / SAIC thinks:

As part of the process to commercialize our technology, on December 31, 2007, we entered into an agreement with our engineering consultant, Benham Companies, LLC (“Benham), a subsidiary of Science Applications International Corporation (“SAIC”). The contract provides for the engineering design, procurement and construction of our initial plant in China and other countries. Benham’s design provides for the deployment of standard operational modules, each with annual capacity of 166,000 metric tons, providing the flexibility to be configured in accordance with customers’ individual production capacity requirements. Benham’s work suggests that our coal cleaning process may be energy self-sufficient, relying upon captured methane and other byproducts to fuel the coal cleaning process.

Our technology has been tested and proven under laboratory conditions, and the results have been studied by Benham, SAIC and certain joint venture candidates. Testing has shown no evidence of coal dusting or other technical concerns that might hinder commercialization.


What about their international patent?
