DideOxy - YES the IP of USCOM is well protected by patents - if you google "uscom patents" you will be buried in information - and it goes some pages deep.
YES Rob SPREADS HIMSELF VERY THIN - It always amazes me how he covers the ground he does and can still find time to explain the finer points of the science to any shareholder who asks. He is however supported by a top team and a bunch of very loyal shareholders.

Before you search for the patent information it will serve to read a short Bio. on Rob Phillips (This is a direct copy of the Biography of the UCM CEO published by Simply Wall Street )

Good luck all!
