It seems that Rossi changed his mind about how to commercialize his reactor
about 2-3 years ago. First it was to come out for home heating and sold by a
Home Depot like company. That soon changed to licensed use in an industrial
setting with trained operators. It seems that is where the application remains
with some? legal contractual protection against reverse engineering. However,
I question whether such an agreement will hold water in China. It seems pretty
easy to steel a reactor given their size. If it works as he says it will be
much more valuable than a kg of U-235---also more dangerous in some folks
minds.

So, it is a trade secret. That works for a product with a limited market. If
WD40 were worth hundreds of billions, other companies would do a chemical
analysis of it, and then reverse engineer it. Cold fusion has gigantic market
potential, so it will be reverse engineered no matter how difficult that may
be. A trade secret would not work for it.
