It is the patent claim. It is easy to spend a forutne to get a patent but not usually easy to get a patent that can't be legally avoided. : There is a $100M+ a year scam getting patents. One in 10K make more than they pay. : Even using a Registered Patent Lawyer is no guaranty that you are going to get a patent that will give you the protection that you need. : That is why I push the Reality Check (sm) and Elaine's Workshop (sm). : M.
