Actually, it may not really matter if he gets a patent or not. If he applies for one, then no one else can get a patent, and if it's rejected he can still build and market the device keeping the Ni powder preparation process secret. He (or Defkalion) will still make a lot of money before someone else figures out exactly how it's done. >...which brings up the question as to how Rossi & Defkalion might best >go about getting the e-cat patented.
