RE:Amended Patent Search by EPOBernard hates patent questions, but please post this on agoracom for HPQ/PYR comment.
Investors need to know more about the patent strategy, and like you say, how much of HPQ's future success hinges on it.
Some people think the patent is everything, others think a successful business could still go on wihout one. I honestly don't know. Will the royalty arrangement with PYR be adjusted if no patent arrives? Peter gave a good answer to the patent anxiety in the past, but it's time for more info in my opinion.
Thanks for posting Juno.

Pyrogenesis can resubmit again, but it will be months before we hear anything. My question is, if a patent isn't granted, will we still have a valid asset just because we're first to the market or will the big players just create their own variation of Purevap and bypass us? I'll try to link to the search results below.
