One would think that under these circumtances the law and human decency will allow the actual mechanism to be patented.
Keep in mind, a patent is not a refereed publication. A patent being granted is not an statement that the discussion within is correct.

Besides, are you going to have judges and lawyers decide whether a certain material uses your physics? You are likely going to find a difficult enough time with referees.

I realise how corrupt our legal system is. As Jesus said, they suck out the gnat and swallow the camel as a whole. Unfortunately filing patents, as imperfect as the sytem is, is the only recourse one has; unless you can get an international powerful mafia on your side. Sometimes I have the feeling that the mafia has a better sense of justice than our Western judicial systems?

The referees will eventually come around because the science is sound. I have found during my publishing life that a paper with an incremental addition to scientific knowledge is accepted far easier by referees than one that moves outside dogmatic boundaries. Nonetheless, although the papers I have submitted which fall under the latter category have been violently opposed initially, they were all qouted extensively once they have passed the bigotry of referees. I know this will also eventually happen in the present case. It might take a little longer because a referee that has been weaned on BCS theory and applied it for years in his/her papers is going to balk worse than a donkey.

This was not my meaning about the patent process.

Good luck with your patents and paper. It looks like you have a tough fight on your hands.

Thanks; however, I should not have a tough time because the patents are very well written. They should stand up in any honest court. The only tough time could be if a corrupt global company forces unnecessary litigation because they have enough money to throw at it. We have, however, mechanisms in place for such an eventuality.
