Thanks, Scrapps. I've already searched out, printed out, and posted patent numbers and summaries to this thread, regarding a number of Xybernaut's US patents. It is fun to search this stuff out, and to learn from these searches. I am assuming that the latest patent data is not yet included at the link you offered - I'll check when I get some time. I'm presently hanging on, forced to trust Xybernaut, that the most recently issued patents truly are "significant", because I cannot search out any details through the fog included with their latest PR. I'm not a patent-search hotrodder. I expect there is some way I could find out what the details are. I just don't know the techniques, yet. I think it's important not to get too hung up on the wonders of "the moment" and to look at the bigger picture: Xybernaut is evidently not selling much product, Xybernaut does have a significant cash burn rate, Xybernaut did not have heaps of cash on hand at the last quarterly release, and Xybernaut is now presenting us "prepatory" PRs on news that may never arrive. Given Xybernauts PR history, especially their ongoing tendency to deliver unrealistic projections, I'd say it's reasonable to look at this latest batch of press releases in a fairly scrutinizing manner: What does Xybernaut's seek to accomplish with these press releases? At historical and current PR rates, Xybernaut quarterly reports will never equal or exceed investor expectations. I see no way where reality could ever compete with the present set of implications from PRs and expectations from investors. Shoe.
