About 3.5 years for this one. The good thing is that once the patent is filed, nobody else can get a patent on the same invention.
As for the 2 new patents, I beieve one of them was for a resonator which can be heard described in the AGM audio fairchij provided. I'm kind of hoping the other one was for the solar invention that Taylor was so passionate about.
