Legal Patent Status is pending: A continuation-in-part (of original application dated October 2004) utility patent application was filed in November 2008 and amendments to the original application have also been filed with the US Patent Office. Before filing the patent application a patent search was performed by the Patent Law office of Richard L. Huff. The patent search result indicated that there is no strong prior art and a utility patent is likely to issue. Another independent patent search was also performed in 11-03 by the patent law office of Sturm & Fix, with a similar favorable patentability opinion.
