I sent an e-mail asking if the patents could be extended, and if so, have we filed for such and if not, when will we.

RP's answer:

Joe,

We cannot extend the expiration dates of the five patents that comprise our Flash-R patent portfolio.

Best Regards,

Robert Putnam

Sr. Vice President

Note: I cannot cut and paste the actual e-mail response, so if someone wants to volunteer to do it for me, PM me your e-mail address and I will send it to you.

I will put "DISCHINO here" in the e-mail subject line so that you know it's me.
