Of course bud knows. We all know you just made it sound like they are going to uplist to something in the future. Maybe you should get your tense correct be more clear with your statements!
Yes, I was aware that vate uplisted to the otcqb several months ago. Mostly for transparency reasons but it had little effect. Ryan is more concerned with the brand instead of marketing and advertising his company. There are three or four companies basically with the same name. No patents as far as I'm aware.
