It seems to me that a patent on a worthless piece of equipment would be
worthless. On the other hand, if the machine really does work, Newman
would not lose patent rights by having it examined by any number of
experts. It is extremely unlikely that the idea could be stolen and
another individual obtain the patent considering Newman has already
applied for his. So why is he holding back?
