OK. I do have to correct a statement that Ronn made in the interview. Since November 2000:

USPTO WILL BEGIN PUBLISHING PATENT APPLICATIONS.The U.S will join Europe and Japan, where patent applications are already regularly published
PRESS RELEASE

The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) will begin publishing, for the first time, patent applications filed on or after November 29, 2000 eighteen months after the effective filing date of the application. Applications will be published electronically and will be available on the Internet at www.uspto.gov . Publication of patent applications before a patent is granted is one of the most fundamentally significant changes to the U.S. patent system in this century, and stems from a statutory mandate contained in the American Inventors Protection Act of 1999 (AIPA).

You might ask where I got this:

So, as I published earlier at http://patft.uspto.gov/netahtml/PTO/search-bool.html

you can search for any combination of terms concerning RNNM and I don't think you will find any applications filed for Ronn Motors contrary to what Ronn states in the interview. As Ronn did not state when his patent application was submitted, there is no way to tell if it is within the 18 month black-out window, but the USPTO does publish applications before final action.
