Just to add:

Today, I had a friend visit who is a barrister and works with patents and
trademarks. When pressed on putting a few words to this debate on patents
he replied:

*** Its not possible that NUH would not have patents.

*** How many would depend on how many components they need to protect.

*** It would be difficult to find out just what they are protecting.

*** Patents can be placed in different names to hide ownership--'until needed!

*** He also owns shares in the company and thinks the sky is the limit.

To give an idea of the number of patents in one product,at last count,there are
250,000 cell phone patents and the list is rapidly growing by companies gathering
portfolio's of cell phone patents.

[Faang leaders have been having 'wars' over patents for years]

So, when a 'forensic' poster rings up out of the blue and asks the desk for 'vital'
information relating to tightly held patents that in all probability are being held
by the unknown--expect to be ushered to the front door!

Take care,

HM.
