I am not a lawyer but I have consulted with some experts in copyrights and IP, in connection with LENR-CANR.org. I have some knowledge of the rules. In my opinion it would be all-but-impossible for NASA or Bushnell to make this case. He was talking about cold fusion, and therefore by extension, about the Rossi device. I think any judge or any reasonable person would agree the Rossi device is cold fusion. Even if Rossi himself says it isn't everyone will agree that it is. If a government researcher says "MPP architecture will have a profound effect on computers" anyone making anything like an MPP processor can quote the researcher without fear that it is inappropriate or misleading. Even if the researcher in question has never heard of this MPP processor, or does think much of it, I am sure the statement can be used.
