Fred's reply had to do with why Pat assigned the NUNCHI patent apps to the company. I was in a lengthy discussion disagreeing with posters on another board and I stated it was common practice that employees and outside consultants, should they come up with something the company felt was worth pursuing a patent app, it was assigned to EDIG. Everyone said I was wrong and the NUNCHI patent apps are worthless, won't get bapproved...bla bla bla.
So there...lol.
Yes, Pat is earning his fee.
