DNAprint Genomics (DNAG)

No they're not.

It is standard nomenclature to describe a technology as 'patented' IF the application is on file. What it means is the technology will be protected by patent law retroactive to the time of the application WHEN the patent is approved.

In the past, the term 'patent pending' was used.

Once a patent is approved it becomes public knowledge immediately. DNAP has not yet received a single patent approval. However all of the technologies that have corresponding patent applications on file can be referred to as 'patented' until the patent application is rejected.
