Hi, Joe,

Per my earlier e-mail to you, we filed the current application in 2006 and received our first office action from the USPTO earlier this year. We look forward to providing further information about the application in future Company communications.

Best regards,
Robert

Nick,

Concerning your question/comment about the encryption patent pending, I had some dates confused so e-mailed RP and received above 8/23. One of my questions was if we had received a 2nd, 3rd etc office action, so my interpretation per above is no, but cannot be 100% sure? Never the less, we are at the "4 year mark."
