Hi Duff,

Please find in Bold and Underline my answers to your questions...

Apologies for asking about something you are likely tired of hearing about....

Duff, I have no problems answering your questions, I am only tired by the fact that whatever we reply the same Bashers group will keep coming back repeating the same lies about the patent application....

Peter Pascali recently wrote:  "We are proceeding with national phase applications in this file.  We have provided the appropriate instructions to our patent attorney." 

For those that did not see it, this is the link to Peter answer...

My question is, will these applications be made public via news release? 

NO, we don't issue a press release when we renew claims, so why should we do it for this....

Does it constitute a material change?  

NO, the national phase is a natural evolution of the process started in 2015 by Pyro...

I've been told the application deadline is today, and was hoping to hear HPQ confirmation that everything is proceeding.

Why do you give so much power to these bashers, you already knew the answer that we were going forward... so the date issue was irrelevant...

This was just another comment used by the bashers to create doubt in people head...

Fundamentally the only question was do we apply or not? And that has already been answered by Peter when he replied to your question about the WIPO application, (link)..

Heck, we have no reasons not to apply...

The fact that some basher makes a big deal about it does not change that.

Sorry for being so direct Duff, but you do realize that I was not only talking to you, but also the basher group...

Regards,

Bernard Tourillon
