Electroneum Dentons Patent

So in the email that was sent it stated the Dentons Law firm was dealing with Electroneum's patent application.

Now I wonder what this Patent is!

Patents are for new 'novel' technology that makes a leap from current to new technology.

Now is this for something they are working on in the background? Such as a way to integrate their platform with telecom platforms for payment? Maybe it's for the mobile miner (airdropper)? I am very interested to see what it is when they release details soon!

Will it be a patent that covers the world? the US? the UK? or europe? That will be released.

Time frame:

Patants stay pending for a couple of years in most cases - I have dealt with them before. As soon as it's pending the technology is considered yours unless it is denied in a later stage, so I wonder what other projects it will shut down! or if any chinese companies will clone it for their use.

What do you think? :)
