I stand corrected. However I do not think this will be a problem with cold fusion for reasons I have discussed previously: The government does not believe cold fusion is real and they would not take action to suppress it until they do. By then it would be too late. (I doubt they want to suppress it in any case.) Security by obscurity does not work in the 21st century. If you fear the government may suppress the patent, you can put a copy of it on the Internet and within a few days thousands of copies will be distributed worldwide. Give me a copy and I can guarantee that. If the government accuses you of distributing secret information you can say "oops, my computer was hacked." - Jed
