ICM Invents new Technology - Again!

In March of 2011 ICM invented a new renewable source of energy - SEE HERE

According to the article:

"Bert Bennett, Ph.D., the project’s principal scientist, compared the gasifier process to lighting a fire in the fireplace. Heat is generated, and the fuel (in this case, wood) is turned to ash.  However, in the gasifier, waste is burned, but the process is stopped halfway. Instead of letting it turn to ash, the trash is converted to synthetic gas, which can be used to generate power in industrial and commercial settings.

The design is unique to ICM."

In a completely unrelated note, one we do not cover much here,  due to the emphasis on COES - However, GreenShift owns 10% of ZeroPoint CleanTech Inc.

 
"In March 2007 ZeroPoint Clean Tech, Inc. successfully commissioned its first commercial scale biomass gasification system."  See last article HERE  
Here are four patents that ZeroPoint Clean Tech owns covering their biomass gasification and other systems.  Here are four listed ZeroPoint patent applications.
 
I certainly do not know nor would I suggest that anyones "new renewable source of energy" infringes ZeroPoint's (or anyone elses) patents.   Before I invested in anything like this however, I would research the patent issue thoughly.  Taking the word of a business that can profit from your decision does not seem to be enough today.  Judging by the issued ZeroPoint Patents and the commercial sales made by ZeroPoint, "Biomass Gasification Technology" is hardly new.  In fact Wikipedia claims a 180 year history - with 9 million vehicles [See cool old car picture above] running on the process by the end of the Second World War. 
 
Anyway, as we await the results of the Markman Hearing I thought I would give you something.  Was this subject off topic?  Or right on?  You decide.
