Skint, thanks, very interesting. This could cause difficulties in getting a new patent, at least one obstacle. Smart co-operation between QU and Prana is needed, IMO. Lot of work to get a patent in general and in time. The time starts when there is the first public publication and I think there is only 6 months before the application needs to be filed, perhaps one year (???).
