CCR hyped patent pending over the course of 2 years. He obviously lied when he stated at any point in 2018 that the patents would be done. He misled the community and no, he didn't apply for them imho. Apply implies that he submitted them, there's no proof that he submitted them, but the main fact is that he lied and deceived the community and there's no rebuffing the fact that he lied.

Patent pending only requires a simple submission btw, it doesn't usually take 2 years for patent pending, patents are often granted in that time frame or denied. You've been lied to me boi-o
