Dan,
I am somewhat familiar with patents and the US Patent Office. When I had applied for a patent on a device in 1980, it took years to get it through. We had hired patent attorneys, etc. and engineers to get the language right. The patent office sent it back a couple times because, "The technology was similar to technology of another device that didn't do what ours did." To shorten this,(and I'm sure Microphonics will clarify this issue - OVER TIME), I would ALSO have had to apply for an Overseas Patent to market the device beyond the shores of the U.S. Therefore, Microphonics, having "purchased" either the rights to - or the patent itself, may have had to reverse this procedure and apply for a patent to market it in the United States, rather than in German. I don't know if that's the case, but I BELIEVE that the powers to be are on top of it, and, in DUE TIME, will answer the questions. I'm POSITIVE that they have been swamped with questions from SI, Raging Bull, Yahoo Finance, and other threads. I'm sure they want to give careful consideration to ALL of our questions, but we need to give them a little time to address the questions. Perhaps an e-mail from you to them with specific questions would be in order sometime next week. Maybe this will clarify, maybe it will only prompt more questions, but the e-mail route might get an answer for you IMHO.
Best regards,
