The US patent numbers have to be public domain - but the RB Biffoons don't know much about intellectual property, and keeping referring to trade secrets instead. The coyness about the US patent numbers erodes their credibility.

If they have valid patents, they'll have to produce the patent numbers, and keeping them "well hidden" is a silly statement. The USPTO does not check for possible infringement of other patents when considering a patent application prior to granting any patent - that's the company/inventor(s) problem.

If they have infringed existing patents, they can expect lawsuits.

They should also have the FCC Equipment approval numbers,
and FCC registrations for their antennas.

Needless to say, the Biffoons don't really understand any of the technical claims they make, and I suspect the "well hidden" firmware patents Knabb refers to had better be produced very soon if they expect to stay in business.
