Tim, I do not agree with you, there is more danger that the "technology" will leak or that someone will duplicate it. The truth is, if SFD is indeed radically different from any other remote sensing technology, an extremely strong patent can be obtained. On the other hand, if it is just a variant of existing remote sensing technologies, than its value is limited. I would presume that a big part of the proprietary system need not even be divulged in the patent, particularly the details of the statistical tools used, or possibly the correlation transforms, or possibly the projection technologies , or even the neural network algorithms, which ever data crunching approach is used to reduce the SPD readings to three dimensional images of sub teranean structures. I am always wary of mystical technological breakthroughs which are too secret to patent.
