Where is the patent? They have non. See quote from the 10K Oktober filing. Every competitor could copy it and here you go. Besides diluting the stock to dead this is another negativum.
"The
owners of the Ionic Bulb have filed U.S. and foreign patent applications for the
Ionic Bulb. Our success will depend in part on our ability to obtain
United States and foreign patent protection for the Ionic Bulb and operate
without infringing the proprietary rights of third parties. We place
considerable importance on obtaining patent protection for significant new
technologies, products and processes. Future enforcement of patents
and proprietary rights in many other countries may be problematic or
unpredictable. Moreover, the issuance of a patent in one country does
not assure the issuance of a similar patent in another country. Claim
interpretation and infringement laws vary by nation, so the extent of any patent
protection is uncertain and may vary in different jurisdictions. Our
domestic patent position is also highly uncertain and involves complex legal and
factual questions. In addition, the assignment by the co-inventor has
not yet been perfected in the US Patent and Trademark Office. Until
such time as this assignment is perfected, the co-inventor could license the
Ionic Bulb technology to another party. The applicant or inventors of
subject matter covered by patent applications or patents owned by us may not
have been the first to invent or the first to file patent applications for such
inventions. Due to uncertainties regarding patent law and the
circumstances surrounding our patent applications, the pending or future patent
applications we own may not result in the issuance of any
patents. Existing or future patents owned by to us may be challenged,
infringed upon, invalidated, found to be unenforceable or circumvented by
others. Further, any rights we may have under any issued patents may
not provide us with sufficient protection against competitive products or
otherwise cover commercially valuable products or processes."
