Patent Pending

The SkunK spends some time looking at the GreenShift patents pending - at least the ones that I am aware of.  Sometimes I get a nugget, sometimes I get a noogie, - sometimes I get something like this.  This letter is dated the 22nd of April (2010 - thanks nobody),  but as you notice on the first page it is in response to a letter dated Feb of 2011.  I believe the 2010 is a typo and was meant to be 2011.  As you can see below the same 12 page document below - the mail room date is 22 April, 2011.

If nothing else this gives one an idea of how much work goes into getting a patent.  Words matter.  Patents are certainly not given out like toothpicks at an all you can eat buffet.

The lawyers weigh in here. Doesn't an invalid date invalidate the correspondence? It does say something about the care and diligence with which the document was prepared and proof read.
