A patent means you have a basis for a lawsuit, but that's no guarantee
of a win.
Most patents aren't worth the paper they're written on.
Interesting what the patent says about EIS: [In part, patently untrue?..it
seems we ourselves have been debating some of these points for years]

"Colloidal silver is a substance which has been in use for about a hundred
years. It provides a reasonable degree of controlled release and mobility
of silver ions in and on the body. Colloidal silver is apparently made up
of minute particles of silver, associated with silver ions that comprise a
small percentage of such particles. The mass of these particles provide a
degree of controlled, gradual release of silver ions as the body's
chemistry breaks down these particles.
However, the electrolysis process that is used to make most colloidal
silver has substantial limitations and does not enable adequate consistency
in terms of parts per million (PPM) of silver relative to the total
solution by molar weight, particle size, or percentage of ions, for most
desired applications. Additionally, purity of the substance is typically
limited because electrolytes must usually be added to the water during the
production method, the most common of which is sodium. Oxides typically
form during production, often resulting in an undesirable yellow or brown
color. Moreover, the potency of most electrically produced colloidal silver
is inherently limited. After a concentration of approximately 5 PPM of
silver (in some cases up to approximately 20 PPM of silver) is reached, the
production method typically fails to continue yielding electron-deficient
silver particles. The particles formed after such a concentration is
reached are typically not capable of performing antimicrobial functions as
do the particles that are initially produced prior to reaching this
approximate level of total silver concentration (the aggregate of the
complexed silver and the free, available silver in the water-based solution).
The term colloidal means "something suspended in a dissimilar medium," and
shelf life is, therefore, inherently limited because the colloidal silver
particles gradually settle out of the water. Colloidal particles are not
dissolved in the water medium; they are not in solution. The suspension is
a result of, for example, Brownian motion which is insufficient to keep the
particles from settling out over time. Some colloidal silver substances
have stabilizing agents such as proteins added to the formula, but these
tend to further hinder the availability of the silver ions to the body.
What is therefore needed are compositions comprising silver ions, and
methods of making and using such compositions, that address the
aforementioned problems. "

Silver citrate is now patented. My, aren't they clever. Makes the ionic
silver we make obsolete. Sure it does!
