Sulasailor: My understanding is that such incorportion of patents resets the coundown clock on the previous patents. I would be quite happy to be corrected as my understanding is based on previous comments here by RVH rather than any personal expertise in patent law.

Yes, sulasailor, that's exactly my question. I mean, if the clock would be reset, that would be too good to be true, so it cannot be true. Or is it? Well, the whole POET story is too good to be true, so it better be true! :-)

Would be great if Rob or someone else "in the know" could clarify! Thanks!
