Can, I do believe GTCH puts quite an effort into protecting their patents. Impressed with Rittman. Did plenty of DD over the years. But, as I have previously stated, I had previously bought into companies that have promising patents only to be walloped by delay after delay until competitors closed the doors. Delay in IMPLEMENTING TECH is a killer for small outfits. Without REAL substantive notification by the management that they continue to be 'cutting edge' leaves me a bit hollow. The long wait to hear anything substantive from GTCH is VERY bothersome to me.
