My 2 cents worth for the moment...

You think a patent will actually prevent intellectual property (etc.) theft? If anything, patent trolls await the filing of patents which provides them with a perfect road map for the theft of intellectual property that they then take outside the U.S. where they use it to do with as they please without repercussions or they try and tweak it to get around U.S. Patent protection, in addition the time that it often takes to litigate such issues can be substantial. imo

My bet is on NTEK taking their own measures to protect their intellectual property with such things as encryption, etc. until such time it makes monetary and logistical sense to do otherwise. imo

If everyone could be doing what NTEK is doing, I suspect they would be. imo

While patents are something that can be advantageous, they are expensive to acquire and even more expensive to litigate against those who chose to infringe upon them if you can even find them (China, etc.). imo

The main advantage of getting a patent is the exclusivity, licensing and royalties monies, etc. and my impression is that they will be pricing their proprietary items low enough that it may not make monetary sense to steal and/or reproduce. imo
