INVESTIGATION OF PATENT OFFICE
Special Agent Kimberlee Taylor
Office of the Inspector General
Commerce Department
Room 7614
14th and Constitution, NW
Washington, DC 20230
Phone 202-482-0909
Fax 202-501-0710
Due to complaints about the reluctance of the Office of Patents and Trademarks to allow any patent applications for cold fusion, or low-energy nuclear reactions to be processed beyond being rejected, an investigation has been ordered.
Special Agent Kimberlee Taylor has been asked to get information about the complaints against the actions of the Office of Patents and Trademarks and report back to her supervisor. Dr. Mitchell Swartz has sent 35 pounds of papers, books, and 3 videos to Ms. Taylor. Hal Fox has written a four- page summary of the events that have attempted to dismiss cold fusion as bad science.
It is believed that this investigation has been caused by citizens writing to their elected officials (Senators and Members of Congress). It is further strongly suggested that the best possible help for the support of this investigation will be a considerable expression of concern from our Senators and Members of Congress.
PLEASE WRITE THE MEMBER OF CONGRESS FROM YOUR DISTRICT AND BOTH SENATORS FROM YOUR STATE. Send a copy to Ms. Kimberlee Taylor.
A brief summary of the history of the attempts to stop the development of cold fusion is posted at ????? [ check padrak.com ] (Dr. Bailey put in a hot button or something and post the attachment)
Please help this important investigation by sharing this message with everyone you can, especially via the internet. Here are salient features:
The United States is the only nation to deny inventors the right to patent cold fusion and low-energy nuclear reactions inventions. Why?
Of over 3,000 technical papers on cold fusion (many theory and review papers) over 600 papers from over 200 scientific laboratories from precisely 30 countries have reported success in replicating or extending the original discovery of Professors Pons and Fleischmann.
Over 100 cold fusion (new-hydrogen energy) patents have issued in Japan.
Seven international conferences have been held on cold fusion with an estimated 200 or more scientists attending each conference. Is it conceivable that all of this time and effort by world-class scientists would be spent on a scientific fraud?
Two groups offer kits for sale with MONEY-BACK GUARANTEES of success. Professor John Dash is preparing to sell cold fusion kits to high schools. His summer classes for entering science students and interested high-school students have had successful cold fusion experiments every summer for several years.
The person in the Office of Patents and Trademarks who is the supervisor of the activity to handle the class of inventions that include cold fusion and low-energy nuclear reactions is Harvey Bhrendt. He is reported to state that cold fusion is not real because there are no commercial products on the market. Perhaps he hasn't heard about the products that are being offered for sale with a money-back guarantee. Perhaps he realizes that it is very difficult to commercial a product without patent protection.
The big issue is the denial to U.S. inventors of their constitutional rights to the protection of their inventions!

Major European Patent Grant
The European patent office has issued a Notice of Intent to grant the Pons-Fleischmann patent for cold fusion. Filed by the University of Utah in 1989, this cold fusion patent (and over 200 others) has been denied by the U.S. patent office. The University of Utah has licensed this patent to ENECO (formerly Fusion Energy Applied Technology Inc.) of Salt Lake City. ENECO's science board includes several prominent cold fusion scientists including Dr. Richard Oriani of the University of Minnesota and Dr. Ed Storms formerly of LANL. The late Minoru Toyoda, founder of Toyota Motors tried to acquire this patent filing from the University of Utah. Beside being another vindication for Drs. Fleischmann and Pons, this patent grant signals a change in official attitudes toward cold fusion science in Europe.
Italian Industrial Backing
FIAT sponsored a small cold fusion gathering from October 11-13 in Asti, Italy, of about 40 intentionally prominent cold fusion researchers including Dr. Storms of ENECO. After the conference FIAT announced sponsorship of Dr. Piantelli's cold fusion research.
Japanese MITI Increases Cold Fusion Commitment
The Japanese government announced an increase from $30 million to $100 million of its cold fusion R&D budget. The program is administered through MITI with labs based in Sapporo near the Toyota R&D effort and at the University of Hokkaido. According to Dr. Hal Fox, editor of Fusion Facts and NEN, over 100 cold fusion patents have been granted in Japan, including the "ceramic" cold fusion patent of Dr. Mizuno (sponsored by Mitsubishi). Dr. Mizuno lectured at the University of Minnesota in June where ceramic cold fusion research continues under the direction of Dr. Oriani.
