So what? The patent office does not examine whether the applied-for invention actually works or not.
The criteria for patentability are, by legal definition (in this case, Articles 52 - 54 of the European Patent Convention):
1. Novelty (i.e., not formerly described in any *one* single disclosure.)
2. Non-obviousness (i.e., not being able to be derived from a *combination* of prior disclosures.)
3. Industrial applicability (i.e., can conceivably be manufactured or used in industry - this does *not* mean it actually works as claimed. This criterium is more concerned with excluding certain inventions - such as medical procedures - from being patentable.)
The patent office does not care whether or not it works. That’s for the *market* to decide.
But since this great invention has been - as per your prior proclamations pimping Rossi - creating unlimited free energy for over a year now....oh, wait...it hasn’t, actually?
Oh, my. As Reagan once said, “there you go again...”
Is this Hugh and Series?........
Once again, Rossi the con artist has to be mentioned.

An Ecat blog of course. No wonder it mentions Rossi.
Let us know how much of your own money you invest in it.
Any announcement of a demonstration of the device at an independent lab? Preferably a long-running demonstration?
