Fred explained Nunchi has a base patent, then as they further develope it, 5 additional patent filings have taken place. During Allen's portion of the discussion, he explained in presenting/doing demos to prospective partners, when asked if this or that feature could be added, he said we tell the YES! "Platform" is a good way to describe it, another is NUNCHI Patent Portfolio" IMO.
It is still in development as they put it.
