Jed, you think I do not see how cold fusion can succeed without patent protection.
I might not fully understand the theoretical discussions. However, it sounds to me that there are many ways LENT might work. To participate in a lawsuit about who has what patented will just resources away from development of the technology. I think that Rossi for example is providing enough information that a patent can be denied for anyone who tries to get a broad patent. All others who want to patent misc. engineering can probably be circumvented or bought. Thus I think LENR can survive just fine. To me the real catastrophe as I see it is if there is a patent and a strong financial arm holding off the development and implementation of a new energy source. That could delay LENR for a long time. My hope is that there is enough common knowledge that a patent will be hard (a general LENR patent that is.)
