In reviewing the last 3 quarterlies I was interested in the language used to describe the patents for the BIB and I believe it is clear the ongoing relationship with LTAS (and others) has had an influence..
First mentioned in August 14 Q 2 release...
"..in August 2012, we filed a provisional patent application on our “Blimp in a Box™ ”
Q 3 released Nov. 20, 2012..
all mention of BIB patents mentioned in Q 2 conspicuously absent.
Year end K filed Mar 29, 2013..
"We have also filed provisional patents in August 2012 for the apparatus and method for transporting and deploying an aerostat,"
And this new language never used previously in the section on all intellectual property...
"In certain cases, when appropriate, we opt to protect our intellectual property through trade secrets as opposed to filing for patent protection in order to preserve confidentiality."
