well they said they knew nothing. I don't know that they need to know much about the business they are the agent for just a presence in the state the business wishes to incoporate in if they themselves have no presense there. As for my queries to Janice they are about common sense I don't know if there are patents or a joint venture no one does for sure so I was trying to get at whether there was any logical sense to there being a patent or JV in this situation.
