On PCT patent applications:
Just for background, US co.'s are counseled that US patents are first and foremost the most important patents to establish. Once they have been granted, the application to "Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT)" countries in europe and the rest of the world is what is recommended. Often, patent lawyers suggest that limited PCT applications be made as to not waste money on getting patents in countries where the product will never be used or will be hijacked with no chance of legal recourse.
Given the patent portfolio that MNTA has, my guess is that they are following the above protocol and have chosen selected PCT countries in which to pursue patent protection.
