Gordon, One thing you must consider about patents is that it is
virtually impossible to cover an invention 100 percent. I have
been in several cases where a competitor has made the exact same
product and painted it blue instead of red and said it was different. Patents are made to go around. Let's just say that DF144 is well patented. The secrecy will allow Arcon to get into production and create revenues and improve the process and in the meantime they would be able to fight anyone that may infringe. Patent litigation is not only expensive but also time consuming and quite often no one wins but the lawyers in the end.

I like to make an analogy: In order to get assistance from the government to avoid bankruptcy Chrysler had to show there future product. What they showed was a simple box minivan. Ford and GM also say these plans through leaks and the like but Chrysler had the edge even though the vehicle was "simple". Since that time and being the inventor of something "simple" that no one else though of, Chrysler has controlled 50% of the market ever since and is still the leader today.

We do not care if this super trick technology. We would like Arcon just to have the leg up into production. The rest can and should take care of itself.

A wise man once said that its the obvious solution that is sometimes the hardest to find.

JMO, Lee
