The issue is ... If some other entity uses it, adopts it, for their
own purposes,
and uses it in COPYRIGHTED advertising materials of their own, then
PLUG could loose its
right to use it, even though PLUG originated it.
All you need to do is to look at all the patents granted that CLEARLY
were preceded
by "prior art," but which no one contested because they did not have
the money which
the "filing" entity had. And now we are stuck with having to pay
royalties on things
which had previously been "in the public domain" for many years.
