As far as I know, at the moment it's only a patent *application* rather
than a granted patent. You can *apply* for a patent on anything you like
but that doesn't mean the patent will be granted.
Yeah that is true i didn't see it but wouldn't be possible to buy off
people ?I mean the company is in china and it is a country that has a
certain degree of corruption.This is what i'm afraid of too.And
countries/companies are bending over to get parts in the country
growing economics (cough *yahoo* cough *google*).Anyways that is
off-topic and I don't have that much liberties in my country so i will
shut up now.
