Honda by-passed Orbital Engine patents?

If Honda can do it, why can't General Motors?

Seems to have all the "key words": "direct-injection" ........"low-pressure"...."air-assist"...."atomization".....
"small droplet size"........etc.

honda.ca

"The 2004 Odyssey gives drivers and families more of what they want from a minivan."......

....."The Odyssey V-6 engine uses Honda-programmed sequential fuel injection. Air induction is via a one-piece, low-pressure die-cast-aluminum intake manifold with individually tuned intake".......

...."Air-Assist Fuel Injectors (back to top) The smaller the fuel droplet size delivered by the fuel injectors, the more effectively the fuel mixes with intake air. The result is more efficient combustion, easier starting, better high-altitude and cold-weather driveability (especially during engine warm-up), and lower hydrocarbon emissions. In order to improve fuel atomization, the Odyssey V-6 engine uses an Air-Assist Injector system (AAI). AAI uses an additional injector near each fuel injector that shoots a jet of air into the atomized fuel spray, breaking it into smaller fuel droplets so that it will burn more completely.".........................

......."Direct Ignition System (back to top) The Odyssey V-6 engine uses individual direct-ignition spark coils, integrated into the spark-plug holder at each cylinder. This design offers several advantages" ............
