So two years from now is when it will be approved?



IMO they most likely can use this Patent really soon. Please read below:


from WIKIPEDIA:

Effective in August 2006, the USPTO introduced an accelerated patent examination procedure in an effort to allow inventors a speedy evaluation of an application with a final disposition within twelve months. The procedure requires additional information to be submitted with the application and also includes an interview with the examiner.[47] The first accelerated patent was granted on March 15, 2007 with a 6 month issuance time.[48]

...and most important also from WIKIPEDIA:

Patent pending


From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia





For other uses, see Patent pending (disambiguation).

The expressions "patent pending" (sometimes abbreviated by "pat. pend". or "pat. pending") or "patent applied for" refer to a warning that inventors are entitled to use in reference to their product or process once a patent application has been filed, but prior to the patent being issued or the application abandoned. The marking serves to notify potential infringers who would copy the invention that they may be liable for damages (including back-dated royalties), seizure, and injunction once a patent is issued.

Fraudulent use of the patent pending warning is prohibited by the law of many countries and inventors should be cautious when marking products or methods that may arguably not be covered by any pending patent application. In some jurisdictions, such as the United Kingdom, a warning notice should ideally mention the number of the pending application
