Rossi's partners at Industrial Heat (IH) are probably familiar with the patent system and are stringing out the issuance as long as possible. Like Dave said, this allows patent protection into the future as long as possible.
Rossi did say recently on his blog that he does not understand the theory of his invention. At least this was what was implied. As is evident, peer review of any theory is problematic at this time. However, it seems that the PO will issue patents without a proven theory to explain every detail of an inventions operation. The Navy and NASA have gotten cold fusion patents for inventions and the theory is not evident yet. In addition the Japanese are also giving patents and EU is as well. I think the PO decided that it needed to get into the field for fear of being being a pimble on the A of progress here in the US. Rossi has several months to answer the PO's comments regarding his application. I assume IH will do that to best of their ability, consistent with their strategy. I would guess this strategy attempts to take into account whether any other entity understands how to build a working E-Cat or Hot Cat and, if not, an estimate when someone might catch on. It will be interesting to observe whether or not the independent third party, testing the Rossi invention, comes out with any theory about how it works. It may be that the third party agreed not to discuss theory and only report results of the testing.

He reported that last year his coworkers were able to build one of his devices and get excess heat simply on his instructions, without him being in the room (or even being on the same continent).

Rossi needs to demo his plant to the patent office and then he'd get his patent approved. It would be at that point that LENR breaks out.

Vortexers have at least another month to speculate on the mechanism of the Ni-H Rossi Effect. However it may be quite bit longer, depending upon patent disclosure strategy. What are the possibilities regarding outing of a theory supported by good data in conjunction with the release of the third party report? Like Rossi implies in his response to a comment yesterday regarding the probability of the Rossi Effect happening naturally, the design of his reactor certainly had some design behind it. I think Focardi nailed the theory and should be hailed appropriately. Rossi had the wherewithal to add some development funds and theory of his own and probably should get the Nobel Prize. I hope it happens soon. I am planning a trip to Italy in September and will visit the University of Bologna for two days with the objective of talking with folks who knew Focardi and are currently working in the field of solid states physics and nano technology. Alain has already asked me to visit the History Dept there as well to find out the facts about the death of Bruno which this blog discussed a few weeks ago. I will report on my trip and interactions. Vortexers that may have other ideas or questions, if so inclined, should present them to me via my own email address so that I might address them with the Bologna historians or researchers. Alain has already given me some good ideas and leads.
