Maybe he is delivering the bad news in person.
Seriously though, your following of Sidlo means nothing.
Until neah either gets funded or bought out, nothing will happen as they don't have any money to do anything.

The past vs now ?
In the past they had money and failed.
The Now. No money and stock price indicates failure.

The Trademarks are recent because the IDIOTS at Neah allowed them to Lapse and had to RE-OPEN them. The fact that they could not fully follow through initially is not a positive.
Trademark - PowerChip Battery - has no matching Patent for technology. HENCE - no patent protection if it actually exists and works.
The technology protected by a patent does not change or advance between the filing of the application and the granting of the patent.
That would take a new patent application and patent.
While the granting of the application sets the protection, the grants are tech that was developed before 2012 that they have not sold to anyone. Now they have ownership of an idea that nobody wants.
The time in between is just time lag. In a normal company, research would continue, the tech would advance and new patent applications would be filed to cover those advancements, then later those would be granted.
All you have is evidence that this company stalled in 2012 and has not moved forward since.
JMHO
Bill
You said you prefer looking for the positives.
What is positive about the newest of the applications being filed in 2012 ?
That is the latest date shown....does that indicate progress for all the research D'Couto has claimed since then ?
OK so no new patent applications filed since 2012.
Hmm lets look at trademarks...this is not anything new, go back and look my posts in April.
So according to the Trademark office, those Trademarks for the PowerChip Fuel Cell and the PowerChip Battery were abandoned, this was due to no response from NEAH at the time.
Then in April D'Couto pulled his head out of the sand and re-started the applications for the Trademarks, claiming ignorance.
I fail to see someone's lack of focus and organization in letting his Trademark applications lapse as a positive.
His "Social Media" rep, explained it as follows, this is a direct quote.
"Neah Power Systems Thursday, 03/02/17 02:25:23 PM

Neah Power Systems submitted a few trademark applications for a variety of different reasons. A few of them were abandoned based on the likelihood of application success. "
At this point in time, there are maybe 3 people working for NEAH and even then they can't get their stories straight.
IS THIS REALLY A POSITIVE ?
Any guess as to why the failures.
JMHO
Bill
Sorry buddy, another thing taken from the far past and represented as something new.
I followed that trail back in Jan of this year. D'Couto's involvement with Wang was before this event.
http://www.prweb.com/releases/2012/9/prweb9868588.htm
What 2012 ? But this was meant to be represented as something new.
As we all know now, D'Couto's Pre 2012 China strategy was a failure. This quote was chopped up to mis-represent and seem like it is new. This is what we are being fed by the pumpers.
This is a 5 year old dot....what has happened in the intervening 5 years ?
The same as the 5 years before that. NUTHIN.
JMHO
Bill
You can feel as positive about NEAH as you want. However, putting forth irrelevant information as proof of that does not fly.
Formira...the only two things that Neah announced on that front were teaming agreements with Techtonica and Silent Falcon...
Where are your positives about those..not generalizations about the trademark but where are those agreements now ?
Jmho
Bill
Nice list of Fuel Cell patents and applications.
Since you like links...
Here is a link to a PR, very simple READ THE TITLE.
http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/neah-power-systems-files-patent-for-powerchip-battery-568146901.html
Now go through your list of Justia Patents listed and read the patents to see if they apply to a battery.
MORE SIMPLE...see if any applications were filed in 2014 or 2015 when NEAH was working on the battery.
So, " WE HAVE PATENTS " is not sufficient. The question is, do we have patents that show whether we have the products we say we do.
Most of the fuel cell patents are from a time when NEAH was working on a methanol fuel cell which never took off, as for Formira, are Palladium or platinum catalysts economical ? NOPE.
Nothing confusing here. Is there a patent to the Trademarked PowerChip Battery ? There does not appear to be, want to be helpful ? Find that one.
JMHO
Bill
The Bitter investors come from the COMPLETE lack of truth/accurate information from the company management.
This is not about NDAs, this is about the business moving forward, which we know nothing about and have not really known for years.
Look at any update from 2015 and ask yourself, what happened with all these supposed agreements and where are we at in any of them ?
There is no answer because once mentioned they were never mentioned again.
Nothing such as "we have made progress and tests are yielding x- amount of charges, x amount of power densities, x amount of live time.
Nothing pertinent, not even a photo of a product. All of this is on management.
Angry shareholders after 98% to 99% stock value loss are a mystery ? Why should shareholder's apologize or make excuses for NEAH or even help pump this pig one iota when management is not giving a spec of information ?
INTENT ? Looking at managements actions in the past month, they crushed the small amount of Market Cap this stock had, with a carefully executed series of actions. They then backed off a few of those actions without any update. INTENT ?
It appears that NEAH management are attempting to flush this thing down the toilet...yet slowly. And for once in their professional lifetimes they are being successful.
JMHO
Bill
When you search for a patent you can use many patterns related to the applicant or product.
Nobody from Neah past or present shoes up. Nothing from NEAH or anybody who would could be considered an inventor shows an application.
Therefore it must not exist.
Jmho
Bill
But how can this be ? Neah put out a PR that stated they had filed an application for a patent on the PowerChip Battery.
If you go look on the SBV website (DOE) It specifically states that Neah has patented the battery.
So where is it ?
Jmho
Bill
The only thing neah has to hook up to an electric car is a white paper. They couldn't sell fuel cells to anyone. Not economical enough.
The legendary battery is like the myth that could'nt. No one has ever seen a NEAH battery in action. Even the Sidlo video didn't show it in action. A cylindrical cartridge was put together and mounted to a test Bank...no tests showed.
And where is that Battery Patent ?everyone throws out Links to old fuel cell patents...no one can ever produce a battery Patent.
What's up with that ?
Jmho
Bill
Interesting that Neah was not mentioned at all.
They probably need the power from the substation.
I find it hard to believe any body will be using wafers to construct grid scale batteries.

Battery Life is an issue with many products especially body cameras, why can't D'Couto get his $h!t together, why can't S4W get their $h!t together and why can't VOXX get its $h!t Together to get a jump on the competition ?
Is it a funding issue or a battery issue ?
None of these companies really seem to have their head in the game.
http://www.chron.com/news/politics/houston/article/Chief-blasts-HPD-s-body-camera-vendor-10970122.php
The need is there.
JMHO
Bill
Maybe, Maybe not.
With the current administration it is a possibility. They don't even know what the DOE does much less why they should fund it.
I guess D'Couto should have jumped on it last year before the elections. You snooze, you lose.
Doesn't matter why. NO movement on the SBV EVER.
JMHO
Bill
No I got nothing wrong.
Artilium-Africa 50/50 Artilium and Tritente.
Artilium provides ARTA platform - nothing to do with NEAH.
Tritente provides entry into African markets to Artilium and also manages micro-data centers and are the ones claiming to be intending to buy NEAH Batts.
Artilium does not seem to be on board anymore hence its identical website as Artilium-Africa gone.
All references on Artilium.com to Tritente or Tristar or Artilium-Africa are gone.
I like Delkaso's vision, don't know what happened, but something has changed and it does not look as if it's for the better.
As for NEAH...well nothing.
As I said before only NEAH can tell us what is or is not happening and they don't have anything to say.
Other than that, what does the Market Cap say ?
JMHO
Bill
What can I say, I notice things.
The Article you posted the link to first showed up in March along with a new interview at Emerald Planet which sounded promising.
I always wondered how Artilium-Africa was going to provide 3G and 4G data service as a MVNO where a legacy telecom doesn't already provide it.
The Artilium-Africa site was being updated, had some sections that were "under development" such as a partners section then all of a sudden no website.
I checked the Artilium site new section and no more Articles referencing Tritente.
Things that make you go Hmmm....
jmho
Bill
Sure ! Go look on the Artilium-Africa website and see what they say about NEAH.
Oh heck ! that Artilium-Africa website us no longer there.
Maybe they are following the D'Couto method of mystery management.
Jmho
Bill
Your a funny guy,
Misdirection won't work.
Thats the Artilium.com website not the Artilium-Africa.com website which used to exist. Artilium-Africa was going to be Artilium's way of breaking into the African telecom market.
Artilium never claimed to want to buy NEAH batteries, Artilium-Africa's supposed management were the ones claiming to be getting ready to build micro-data centers throughout Africa and were going to supposedly buy up to 20 million in "NEXT GENERATION" power storage from NEAH.

Click the link at the bottom and see what you get.
Looking thru Artilium.com news there is nothing about anything with Artilium-Africa and there used to be. Wonder what happened there.
Not saying its NEAH's fault just saying there were articles written ( D'Couto interviews ) that claimed these non-existent companies were set to buy millions of dollars in batteries from NEAH. PUMP N DUMP FUEL ?
JMHO
Bill
NEAH Power Systems Inc Facebook still exists and reachable and useless.
NEAH Twitter Still exists and reachable and useless.
neahpower.com still exists and reachable and useless.
Just like D'Couto to not know what he has out there, probably because he and his supposed Social media officer in Florida, (another relative) never used it.
It doesn't matter, nothing is changing. No information and progress then, and no information and progress now.
2016 HYPE:
Liquid Image gonna buy 200,000 batteries if they like them - gone bankrupt no website etc.
Artilium-Africa Gonna buy 20 million dollars of batteries for Microdata Centers - gone no website.
I am surprised the S4W website is still up and running.
JMHO

Global Foundries and NEAH have nothing to do with each other, the NXterra video could have been any clean room in the world.
Just look at the NEAH market Cap to see if anything is really going on with NEAH.
As for S4W, D'Couto has not even acknowledged anything since his teaming agreement with them in 2015.
As for the DOE, If D'Couto had a breakthrough battery he would have been anxious to get it into Argonne's hands just for the validation and industry acceptance. He did not do that and there is a real reason for that.
As for selling the company assets he did not do that because he has Global Foundries on the hook , he did that because he is BROKE...DEAD BROKE. nothing more.
Linked IN has some consultants showing for NEAH, so what ! A couple were full fledged employees during the beginning of the never ending downturn.
Still needing engineering and technical consultants means he still needs research done....meaning "not quite there" yet.
Sorry Short-on, the only ones to be connecting dots here should be NEAH and they never did before and have formally announced that they do not plan to in the future.
Your biggest enemy in the dot-connecting business is NEAH. I finally realized that recently.
JMHO
Bill
"Coming sooner than you think" ended up "Coming Never".
That was VOXX's 2009 Innovations Pavilion hype but it never happened.
You can't use things that never happened and used them to hype things that are never happening then says it's the future of a completely different company.
There is no agreement between NEAH and VOXX. They have never acknowledged each other in any way shape or form.
Voxx says they have an agreement with S4W, they don't show the products on their website, they have a form where if you an interested buyer you can ask them for information. Voxx advanced solutions seems to be poorly supported by Voxx.
I'm sorry but attempting to connect dots that the originating companies could never connect in the first place seems pointless.
JMHO
Bill
Yes, that website is pathetic and has been for years.
I believe he was trying some sort of end-run to get some financing and with his announcements and re-iteration he was still not able to shed enough shareholders to complete his plan.
They may be stuck in limbo now, he was not able to follow thru. Classic D'Couto, he deserves it.
They still have a Useless Facebook, Useless Twitter and Useless Web Site up and doing nothing as they have had for years.
JMHO
Bill
NEWS FLASH !!!
Uhhh NEAH's broke. No Money, no research, they sold their labs, got rid of all their employees.
Last chance was the battery....nothing to Argonne, been in the "THE PROCESS" of sending samples to Argonne. DOE site says they still have 12 months available meaning nothing been done.
Last year pumping "we applied", " we are runner up ", "we won a grant".
This year "we are saying nothing now or in the future" no dots to connect, no Fuel Cells especially..that was the past.
S4W\VOXX late spring availability....nuthin.
D'Couto has a reason to go dark, he might have had to explain a few things, now he never will.
JMHO
Bill
Was D'Couto trying to "shed" retail investors with his actions in order to get under 300 shareholder limit ?
Looks like he "failed" again. He sure does that a lot.
NEAH has 475 shareholders of record.
I think I will keep my remaining shares just to spite him and his manipulative strategies.
Do I think they have a chance at success ? Maybe.
We were at a proving point at the end of spring with Voxx and S4W to provide the proof,this was the make/break of NEAH.
Now at their shareholder meeting, VOXX non-specifically mentions a body camera to go commercial in the fall.
What was the catalyst for this unannounced delay ? After all their hype of the "future of video " and late spring ?
What would have been in the 10K or the latest 10Q that D'Couto does not want us to see ? Surely not bad financials, we have had a decade of that.
JMHO
Bill
I agree on that.
He is a person more suited to overseeing engineers and scientists in the lab and not having anything to do with marketing, sales, business planning, and contract negotiation, ever...at all.
He seems to want NEAH to be Qualcomm without ever doing the groundwork to become a Qualcomm.

July of 2009 was when they announced intent to reverse split, 1 sh for 200. They also executed it in July 2009.
https://globenewswire.com/news-release/2009/07/28/401637/169973/en/NEAH-Power-Systems-Announces-Reverse-Split-and-Plans-for-1-2-Forward-Split-for-Listing-Eligibility.html
The only time they ever did what they said they were gonna do.
http://www.otcmarkets.com/edgar/GetFilingHtml?FilingID=6715597
They then completed a forward split of 2 for 1. Here's why explained below.
http://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2009/08/11/402740/171182/en/Neah-Power-Systems-Issues-Letter-to-Shareholders-Part-One.html
D'Couto only seems to be able to execute then he is "hurting" shareholders, when its something good there doesn't ever appear to be follow thru.
VC won't touch this with w 10 ft pole as it is. It would have to be reverse split again back to less than 100 million sh. That entails another 1 for 200 reverse.
JMHO
Bill
20% was required.
You're not the only one who has sent emails to ANL....no answer. Good luck with that. All other companies have been showing "ACTIVE" since last year. Except for a couple that show as "agreement negotiation"
From Neah , this is what you get.
Project Term: 12 months
Project Status: 12 months
From other companies this is what you get.
Project Term: 12 months
Project Status: Active
A couple have.
Project Term: 12 months
Project Status: Agreement negotiation
D'Couto verified in his last update that Argonne did not yet have a battery, no mystery there. In fact they never said they were sending a Battery in the update. They said they were in the process of sending samples related to the Powerchip battery. ???
Maybe its like the Fuel cells they sent back in the day, they ended up being "MOCKUPS"....seriously ??
JMHO
Bill
That doesn't compute.
NEAH power went public in 2006 it was dollars back in those days. It went public with a reverse merger in March 2006 with a company called Growth Mergers ( shell ).
Another 1 for 200 reverse split in 2009 to attempt to get listed on the AMEX which never happened.
Bill
Maybe you are correct you did say .23 cents and not 23 cents. That was a nice little pump and dump wasn't it ?
JMHO
Bill
Ran to 23 cents from where ? Dollars ?
Now that one was a funny claim.
with 5.4 Billion shares that is not likely to happen without a 1 for 200 Reverse split.
JMHO
Bill
I think the speculation here is just that. The dots we tried to connect were never verified by D'Couto and never will be.
AS for Global Foundries , they are just that. A foundry that manufactures microprocessor wafers. They do not make batteries from wafers, nobody does that yet. D'Couto claims to be able to do that, but has not really proved it.
The manufacturing plant that may build the NEAH battery does not exist yet and would need to be built. Existing battery plants would not be tooled for what NEAH would need. At the very least an existing battery plant would need some new assembly lines to incorporate the unique aspects of this battery.
D'Couto was supposedly working on the new batteries last year and yet in his auction he sold ( or listed ) wafers that would be the raw material for his test batteries. Make sense ? Not really.
JMHO
Bill
Too bad the Juggernaut is still in " THE PROCESS " of sending a sample related to the PowerChip Battery ( whatever that means ) to Argonne National Labs. They have spent the last two months in " The PROCESS ".
The DOE is still showing 12 months for this. Not showing it an active like they do with ALL the other companies that got grants.
If these guys can't get a lousy battery to Argonne in order to validate their battery tech ( they were pumping the grant like crazy last year ) how do we expect them to get thousands to S4W/VOXX.
D'Couto does not like seeing these "point blank" questions on Facebook and definitely doesn't want new prospective shareholders seeing the questions or the fact that they ignore them on Facebook. So he is taking the company dark...so he can focus.
Maybe he is waiting for Global Foundries to make a million so he send one to Argonne...hope he gets the recipe right. But hey ! That was the whole point of the Argonne Project !...oh well ! Who needs efficient Industrial Processes with very high quality control.
Certainly not D'Couto, he won't have to explain anything . He is in the dark ! On purpose ! So he can FOC-US. I would think he is tired of that.
JMHO
Bill
I don't think he appreciates us.
We may be somewhat of a pain for him, yet a necessary evil that he has to put up with, due to the fact that he went public after exhausting his venture capital opportunities.
He is also a shareholder, his board are also shareholders. When he talks about what is best, I think he taking about them. Retail ? I think we were invited to leave this last week, quite loudly.
JMHO
Bill
From the VOXX 8K on their annual earnings conference call.
"We have launched a number of promotions planned towards 360Fly in the action camera market. And we have a new body camera scheduled for fall launch that will also open new distribution channels."
We know that D'Couto did not get funded, so how could he have produced any batteries ? They would not have been able to use NEAH inside for a late spring launch.
However, if he did something with the 2.5 billion shares he recently released from the A/S such as sell a portion of the company for funding. Someone would have time to make an initial production run of batteries by fall.
JMHO
Bill
Ok, I was able to read that one thanks.
This stock is having buys days and sell days...if there more buy days maybe D'Couto will come out and clarify further with more bad news.
Maybe you are right, maybe you are wrong, after all if on the brink of success why go through the steps they took this week ?
What did that buy them ? Unless it is a condition of funding.
JMHO
Bill
What happened to your post 23399 ? It doesn't show up.
While i am annoyed at the latest company behavior, the actions before this week were not the actions of a company going down the tubes. Seriously, why bother.
Who knows what the future holds here.
JMHO
Bill
Its very laughable about the manipulation here.
D'Couto is attempting to create panic selling here to "shake" the retail shareholders. After he bilked them to death for the last 10 years.
When his "monday strategy" created 125 million sh of selling volume, Im sure he felt like the cat that ate the canary. Then the prices started to re-bound he issued his "clarification" to create more selling pressure.
So what he is turning off his web site, he hasn't updated it in years, what is different ?
So what they getting off social media. They never responded accurately there either.
Nothing different with this company or D'Couto.
JMHO
Bill
POsting old news now ?
Thats what the B/R has been posting for a half a year according to how YOU defined it, and you were yelling FALSE ! Did you take up the mantle of a pumper now ?
JMHO
Bill
So D'Couto doesn't have 60,000.00 for either Argonne or an auditor. But he has 1 million for an initial run to manufacture batteries.
I find that hard to believe.
Bill
Well. I'm out.
Don't care what happens here any longer. Hope this goes to oblivion.
