oinker: Doesn't look like the lag time is 18 months for the patent applications. I scanned the application database, they have close to 3,000 applications posted for this year. All of the applications were for January and February. I spot-checked a couple and they did not have the patent granted as of yet. In the patents database, there have been over 82,000 patents granted this year (database has "issued" dates all the way up to June 3rd, 2008). It looks like the applications are a few months behind, so if they recently filed the application and a patent hasn't been granted, it might show up in the online database around September. Unless there are applications that just don't make the database. Rutkowski's two previous patents are in the database: patft.uspto.gov
