I asked a similiar question many moons ago. CYGX has modified and changed their patents many times, so while patents are pending they maybe become obsolete or need to be modified.
So asking why the patent count changes is a very valid question, I'm scared you even asked a question so valid. You sure you are PW??
Not an expert, by any means, but aren't they filing patents with many different patent authorities....if that is the case a single piece of IP could be responible for a number of patents.
