The patent office issued a "final rejection" of Rossi's patent application.
https://www.scribd.com/doc/258595858/USPTO-Final-Rejection-Rossi-Patent I'm not surprised ... he didn't reveal anything of the internal structure or "catalysts", and recently added the Legano report as evidence. I classified that as "inconclusive" -- based mainly on the emissivity of the ceramic used, and (as for high temperature superconductivity) there is no agreed theory for overcoming the coulomb barrier. Though anyone who believes that the free-space coulomb equations apply on to a metal/hydrogen matrix, with a sea of electrons surrounding it, and the possibility of multi-atom quantum conglomerates such as Bose-Einstein condensates, plasmons, phonons etc etc ... is (IMHO) willfully-ignorantly nuts. The condition of cold fusion is not the same as hot fusion. (rough quote).
