Taking about the same study next year? Of course! cause it either gets granted next year that makes a huge difference in stock price or it takes more update like any other patent out there.
Did you know it took GW's recently granted patent FIVE YEARS of UPDATES before it was granted?
hmmm...Sock price? who cares about sock prices next year! I just buy my socks when I need them. I don't wait for them to go down to 4 cents to buy! They never go to 0.04 anyway...it is not 1920s.
