Jed,
What I meant by secret stuff were things I didn't know. Of course they
would have to be identified in the patent.
I think Rossi's patent attorney did well to get as much as he did past
the "no cold fusion" road block. IN my opinion it would take a major
company like Lockheed with political pull, plus a working model, plus
good lawyers, to get the patent office to change its ways. Rossi has
little or no hope of doing that. Even then, a patent has no values
until after it's been challenged in court.

If the patent is inadequate, and it does not protect all of his
intellectual property, Rossi should have filed a better patent, or
several more. It is up to the inventor to seek adequate intellectual
property protection. Since Rossi was granted a patent, it stands to
reason that he could have gotten additional ones.
If someone could actually patent something that claimed Ni/LAH/Li
(plus secret stuff) . . .
You cannot claim secret stuff in a patent. You cannot withhold any
information. You have to reveal every detail such that a PHOSITA can
replicate. If you do not do this, the patent is invalid.
. . . produced large excess nuclear heat when heated to X C it
would blow Rossi's patent out of the water.
That would be Rossi's fault.
As you know the patent office would reject that because they
have someone like you working there who believes cold fusion is
impossible.
They did not reject this patent, so you are wrong.
