I've asked this question my last two posts and have gotten no response. I'm not doubting the validity of the patents, I just wish someone who understands the concept a little better could shed some light on the situation.
If the patents contained in this 10K where worthless, why would the accountants and the legal department of OWCP insert them in this 10k and prepare a fraudulent document? Think about that for a few minutes....Your professional reputation in on the line here.... Doesn't make any sense does it?
If they file for a non provisional patent within one year of the filing for a provisional patent the process then begins for it to become a full USPTO patent. That process can take years in some cases. The company did state in the 10K that all provisional patents have been filed with the USPTO, so I believe they are pursuing full patent protection. Corrections welcome.
