"Research the 3 patents and one will see that they are very limited in scope."

From the research I've done, the patents are very limited in scope necessarily - patents broad in scope will get rejected outright.

"Despite this apparent boom, patent applications covering cybersecurity technologies have faced increasing scrutiny since the June 2014 U.S. Supreme Court decision in Alice Corporation Pty Ltd. v. CLS Bank Int’l. In Alice, the Court found that a software implementation of an escrow arrangement was not eligible for patenting in the U.S. because it merely involved implementing an “abstract idea” on a computer. The Court did not define the term “abstract idea” other than to describe it as a building block of human ingenuity, or a fundamental concept, including concepts that involve a “fundamental economic practice.”

Since then, the USPTO has issued several guidance documents, and lower courts have issued several opinions, describing when software is and (more often) is not eligible for patenting under Section 101 of the Patent Act. The USPTO typically denies, and courts often strike down, patent applications and patents covering methods of manipulating data, completing financial transactions, and algorithms that do not require any particular hardware other than a general-purpose computer."

"FIPS certification will probably not be attained."

Any facts for that statement? Or is that just more speculation after you recently demanded 'no speculation'?

"Datapath is probably done dealing with CLOK, Carlson and MDLG."

Any facts?

Or more speculation?
