That sends the importance of this article / patent application a few levels up.

What I don't understand, though, is how he could apply for a patent based on work he did while employed at the FDA (if that is when he came up with his new product) as everything he came across or thought of while working there would have been the property of the USA.

Same as the Air Force Academy female cadet who came up (while at AFA) with a new body armor material that was extremely light yet could stop a .45 bullet at point blank range. She got nothing, everything went to the government. She did get an initial assignment, though, to Cornell to get a PHD in Chemistry.
