I assume Rossi knows that, and has done that. He has experience in industry. It is unclear whether he needs to worry about the nuclear-related sections. I suppose that until the government agrees this is nuclear, he has not legal obligation to worry about them, but the situation is unprecedented, so who knows. > and his ownership through secrecy will not survive that certification > process. > I agree. I do not see how it can survive. However, this strategy might let him get a foot in the door. It might bring him initial funding for a patent fight and for additional R&D. - Jed
