Delayed. There may be many reasons for this, for example the lawyers are busy
Lawyers are busy? Patent lawyers delay your patent, because they are busy? Are you aware that the business of patent lawyers is being fast, faster than any competitor at applying a patent?
Patents in blockchain technology is something new, and XBY is trying to do patents for something compleatly unique in crypto.
Every patent is something new, so this useless comment written everywhere over and over again is completely wrong.
But don't forget the existence of advanced XBY blockchain technology has been confirmed by an ex managers
A former sales manager from HP has seen the code and has the ability to confirm this code being supreme and later he removed every hint to Xtrabytes from all of his profiles. Seems legit...
