Most likely No. Only 51% of the Patent Applications in 2006 were granted in the US and many of these patents granted are be deemed “limited” protection. So, it’s really worse odds than a flip of the coin and investing hundreds of thousands and even millions of dollars in marketing and advertising if a product is patent pending is most often than not, too risky of an investment. With this said however, recently FSBA has entered into Asset purchase agreements with the contract including a Licensing Deal if and when the patent is granted.
