Patent expert opines on P2O catalyst

iHub poster "Scandle34" shares his opinion on patenting JBI's P2O catalyst:

"“ regarding the catalyst. Looks to me like something that you would want to keep as a trade secret if that is possible. Reason being that if you patent it you will have to disclose it to the world, you will gain control over it but since you cannot tell if anyone else is using it what good would that control be? You just need to investigate whether or not keeping it as a trade secret is commercially and contractually feasible given that you want to allow others to use the catalyst.”

Rules of patenting:
* If you can't prove infringement then don't patent it, unless the only point of the patent is to brag about the patent.

* If someone cannot easily reverse engineer it and then do it cheaper, don't patent it.

* If you are using something that aleady exists in a new way, you might not get the patent so don't disclose it.

This from someone that has filed 3 patents a year for the past 7 years and has (so far) a 100% issuance rate.
