If a 3-month detailed report would interfere with writing a patent, the researcher can submit an abbreviated report saying something like: "A patent is now being written. When it is filed, in approximately two months, a more detailed report will be sent." That should satisfy everyone. The patent application should be written promptly. If the researcher cannot do things this way, he should seek money from a venture capitalist instead of a philanthropist.
