LMAO The numbers dont make sense for a pump and dump.
There are easier ways for a pump and dump.
The European Patent Office published two charts showing estimated costs (downloaded 06/04/2007) for a directly filed European Patent and for one filed under the PCT. For European patents filed by way the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) for eight countries (Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, Netherlands and Austria), the 10 year total cost is estimated at about EUR 47,000 or about $55,000, excluding in-house preparation costs for the patentee. For direct filing in the EPO (not thru the PCT), the total cost is about EUR 32,000 or $44,000. In-house preparation costs might add an additional $5,000 to $10,000 to both estimates. This report is no longer available on the EPO site.
