The patents to come will last for 20 years from first filing and I ain't seen ANY first filings! They are coming, I do believe, at least they have been disclosed as in process.
Good points. However, as a team comes together and many difficulties have been overcome there sometimes comes a point where everything starts working smoothly. I think that's where we are now. I think the major problems have been overcome and I expect things to move faster. From now on we may stop being surprised by how long things are taking and start being surprised by how fast they are moving.
