Please remember, Integral Tech and IAS are two completely different companies, even though they have certain mutual agreements. I wouldn't expect Mr. Williams to comment on this situation unless and until there are circumstances that directly involve Integral.

How can one co-inventor, combine his patent, with the patent of the
other co-inventor, and make a new patent, when both principals
are mentioned in each previous patent?

The Govt. was hard at work on this one, must be the budget surplus.
I can't believe a patent attorney was involved on this one.

Also, like my friends at Ma Bell, You invent, get your name on the
patent, but it still belongs to the co., this case WvU.

And, was this not Govt. funded research.

ITKG is not involved in the patent infringement lawsuit which involves IASCA and Dr. Van Voorhies. Therefore, I cannot comment directly on that case.

Current Situation:
Dr. Van Voorhies is the holder of new patent which covers a very specific design possibility for the CTHA. Ownership of that new patent is in dispute between Van Voorhies and West Virginia University.

We have examined our own activities in light of this litigation. CTHA designs currently practiced by ITI/ETC do not infringe on the patent design which is in dispute.

Going Forward:
From an engineering perspective, we will avoid the disputed design until the dispute is settled, so as not to infringe on Dr. Van Voorhies patent. We do not feel this approach will materially impinge on our capabilities.

With this in mind, we are working to quickly conclude contracts with customers on designs which avoid the Van Voorhies patent.

We will remain interested in the Van Voorhies dispute, but will not allow it to distract us from our objective, which is to rapidly proliferate the CTHA technology across as many broad and deep markets as possible.
