PATENT TRUTH
This is from the USPTO Website as of This evening:
Publication number US7806852 B1
Publication type Grant
Application number US 11/396,847
Publication date Oct 5, 2010
Filing date Apr 3, 2006
Priority date Apr 3, 2006
Fee status Paid
It's clearly not hard to understand. The patent priority date is back in 2006, but it was granted in Oct. 2010. Its good for 20 years through the year 2030, and that last entry - Fee Status PAID, means its active and in good standing. Obviously it had previously lapsed, but management made them revive it before acquiring it. Thats how business is done. The right way. NEXT?
