Hello Mr.Pascali,

I write today looking for clarification regarding the patent application for the Purevap system.  In recent responses to other posters you have displayed confidence that the patent will be granted, however, when viewing the comments associated with the application (see link below) it appears the application is incomplete or will be rejected.

Without going into detail, the observations given by the reviewing authority state that no claims have demonstrated an inventive step, and that several other claims "are not novel", and other claims lack clarity and conciseness.   In its current state this appears to be a failed application.   

(On a side note, Bernard (HPQ) previously commented that it has all been done before in separate operations but not in a single step - this would mean Purevap is not qualified as novel and thus lacks an inventive step.)

Is the next step to reapply with more details?  Or can this application be amended to address the reviewer's comments? Protecting the process via patent seems crucial here.

Thank you again for your time and I look forward to your response here.
