There is a Patent Office memo here: http://lenr-canr.org/Collections/PatentOfficeMemo.jpg I take this to mean they plan to deep six any application relating to cold fusion. That has been the de facto policy ever since this memo was written. However, the memo is vague enough that someone might

We discussed the Tovima article already. I do not think we have noted this: And the catalyst? We asked. It's not supposed to be secret Rossi? [Xanthoulis responded] All the technology used in devices at the Hyperion KW and systems 1 to 5MW are our own design – different from those of Rossi

In their online form, Defkalion is still polite to Rossi, giving him credit for the discovery. They should be polite. This is how a professional business organization talks. As I see it, this interview and the tone in their forum are intended to send a message to Rossi: You better settle this

IMHO if Rossi did indeed discover/create a new catalyst then he has new art and it would be patent-able. I think this is part of Rossi's misdirection and why Defkalion has little to fear; either the catalyst is nothing new or Rossi;s ownership is in question. If this is the case I feel for

Piantelli has worked with Ni powder, it is written in his 1995 patent and this is the main reason Rossi's patent is not approved. His process and work strategy is even better described in his 2010 patent. The most probable scenario is this: Rossi has found an additive that enhances the Ni-H
