1- In the last NR it was said that ACT is filing for *Worldwide* patent protection for the Activemine technology. Financially how much does this potentially cost? Is the following article accurate... *What Is The Cost? For an invention of average complexity, filing applications and obtaining issued patents will cost in the neighbourhood of $30,000 (Cdn) per country. Maintenance fees for the duration of the patent will add another $5,000 to $6,000 over the term of the patent. Nonpayment of a maintenance fee will result in an abandoned patent. International filings outside of Canada and the U.S. can exceed several hundred thousand dollars to obtain issued patents.* 2- How long after Patent protection is issued can ActiveMine be commercialized? Within a few months? A year? Thank you in advance for your answers
