DOES KBLB HAVE ANY PATENTS? (UPDATED)

Despite the many false claims that have been made over the years, KBLB has absolutely NO PATENTS. (Of course the PRs are created in a way to make investors believe that they have patents).

The company itself plainly states that it has NO PATENTS in recent SEC filings.

These statements are from KBLB's most recent Amended S-1A (dated 18 Feb 2021):

"We currently do not have patent rights to the products we are seeking to develop and we currently license some of the genetic sequences and genetic engineering technology we need to develop our products. If any third party challenges our claim to intellectual property rights in the fiber products we are seeking to develop or the intellectual property rights that we license, our business may be materially harmed.

We do not have utility or design patents to the fibers and products we are seeking to develop. It is possible that the fiber products we are seeking to develop could be imitated or directly manufactured and sold by a competitor. In addition, some or all of our research, development ideas and proposed products may be covered by patent rights held by some other entity. In that event, we could incur substantial liability, we could be subject to litigation and claims, and our business would be materially adversely affected."

In addition, even thought the company plainly states that they have NO patents, there are still (false) rumors and innuendo that claim that they have patents in Canada, South Korea, and Australia. That is incorrect.

All of those patents are owned by Notre Dame.

Anyone can see the Canada patent in question here:
