Indeed Jed, I found this somewhat hilarious, that people (e.g. Noone noone) are
accusing Defkalion about IP-theft.
I have previously stated, that current patent legislation is outdated, because
the benefit of IP-rights cannot even remotely offset, the cost of lawyers and
bureaucracy involved in both public sector and private sector. This is
especially true in medical sector where patentability is grossly abused in
order to accumulate capital and suppressing competition.
If Alex's story is true how they acquired the composition of catalyst, then
Rossi willingly gave and showed the formula to Defkalion. It is not Defkalion's
duty to close their eyes if Rossi is showing his technology. However, I
somewhat doubt that and if Defkalion has something, they figured it out
independently ― perhaps on a basis of minor hints.
Also as Jed stated, it is purely Rossi's own fault if he did not do proper
patenting of his technology. I have some doubts that patenting cold fusion
phenomena as such is not going to give sufficient IP protection.
Also my guess is that Rossi has serious problems of making his cold fusion
technology commercially viable. Thus he is probably delaying that his 'letting
customers decide' -approach several years. Therefore, I would say that it is
great service to humanity, if Defkalion has 'stolen' and then improved his
technology to be commercially viable.
Someone should have 'stolen' Rossi's cold fusion technology back in 2008!
Also I find it hilarious, that Defkalion is accused about theft only because he
stole something from Rossi that did not work (low COP and great instability),
but made it working technology (high COP and great temperature and stability).
I cannot comprehend that it could be the same technology, if Defkalion's
technology is claimed to work where as Rossi's ecat technology is claimed to
not work commercially viable manner.
Of course main problem we have here that, there are too many of those, who are
claiming things... But as I have been negative towards Defkalion, they can earn
my trust, if they are really going to do what they have been claiming. These
tests would be first concrete step forwards taken by Defkalion.
