I'm saying the patent has a value ... but not necessarily limited to how you may think. The patent by itself is NOT a roadmap to the total process. I understand that left to itself, the patent will deliver more frustration than results. Futher, I was told the patent law firm that drafted and filed the patent was the best they could get. The firm is well known not only for their ability to draw air tight patents (there is a BIG difference between patent firms' skills!) but also their ability to press litigation if necessary. To use this quality of firm cost several times that of other firms that could have been used. However, it was felt a clear warning was being sent by selecting a world-class and world-recognized firm to draft and file the patent. Extensive physical precautions are in place protecting both the physical (i.e. process) and intellectual properties and all employees have not only signed off on non-use non-disclosure agreements, they also have initialed a copy of the 1996 Industrial Espionage Act which mandates prison time for disclosing proprietary information. Seems they have taken prudent actions to me.
