Now for perhaps a discssion topic on BAAT!!! The following is on their Web site: "With regards to patents on Dolphin Pulse Charge technology, we have filed the patent information with a registered patent attorney in San Francisco, which is similar from a legal standpoint to a provisional patent filing and an important step in gaining patent protection before a filing. We did not want to file the provisional patent until all improvements had been incorporated in the patent and we were in a position to move quickly to commercialization." Question: Are they saying that this preliminary filing with a patent attorney, does give them LEGAL rights to prosecute those that may attempt to "steal" the technology, before full patent protecton? It seems fair that if someone can prove that they were well on their way to the technology, with back up documentation filed with a patent attorney then they aren't just sitting out there enitirely naked, without any protection before their have a patent? I saw some posts that indicated that many high tech companies do the same thing as BAAT is doing before full patent protection. Comments?
