Well as per Sharebel's post earlier, there are US patents so that is a definate possibilty!
Might be worth listening to Dr Gareth Cave's interview again as it answers quite a few of the recent posts on this board:

Hi Magmanus_49....can you tell me why you think it’s “building up”? I’m not knocking you just wondering how you’ve come to that conclusion, please
Nice post earthling! I was actually wondering why they called the Saturn V space rocket 'Saturn' as it only went to the moon! Good ol' Wiki! :)
Hi 1509, yes it was a 3 ply mask which sparked my interest! It didn't seem logical to ship the filter material to Slovakia unless Volz Germany couldn't actually manufacture the 3 ply masks anymore...they had a 3 ply production line themselves! I know there's lots of posts on this BB about this, that & the other....but for me, I'm focused on that 1,000,000 a month conditional mask order. It's in the bag as we (pretty much) know the mask fulfills the criteria for the contract! Yes, the delay of the P2F production line was a nuisance but it's a custom built line ordered by P2F. It HAS TO BE CAPABLE of 5,000,000 masks a month & as P2F have only bought one (so far) it absolutely has to be spotty dog when it leaves Spain as it's going to be working 24/7 when it comes on line early January
@1509...Nope, 99.9% certain Volz Germany are producing masks right now! We know the Volz Germany production line is being retooled from 3 ply to 5 ply masks. A fellow poster here sent a picture of a 3 ply mask where the material was manufactured in Germany but assembled in Slovakia....because the Volz Germany production line is now tooled up for 5 ply not 3 ply! The fellow poster's mask probably was manufactured a few weeks or so ago & there's no way Volz Germany would let a production line sit idle....so....yep, I think Volz Germany are currently producing 5 ply masks under licence for P2F...& also branding (some of them) P2F. We don't know how many as Dr Gareth wouldn't tell us Volz Germany's production rate.
As I posted on Sunday, I'm guessing Volz Germany is currently manufacturing the 1,000,000 masks (branded P2F) to fulfill P2F's first conditional contract in January. I'd be thrilled if it was the case & we had an RNS to confirm the order & shipment in the next week or so.
I think the P2F production line being delayed knocked several ducks out of line! We know the P2F mask has passed testing (it was still going strong at the testing machine's 7 hour testing limit) & is ready for production. We know we have a conditional contract for 1,000,000 masks a month. I'm pretty sure the Volz German production line is not only ready to start production, I think it is producing the P2F masks right now! I think Volz too have orders for the P2F mask already. I don't think Volz can announce their orders before P2F announce theirs (not sporting!). I think P2F wanted to announce their signed contract last week or so but were unable to sign it due to the fact the production line had been delayed. I think the Volz production line is 'a bit' slower than the custom built P2F production line. I think once Volz have completed the 1,000,000 masks for P2F then we'll get an RNS....this week?
Why would they manufacture the fabric in Germany then ship it to Slovakia to be sown together?...My guess is that the German production line has already been upgraded to the 5-ply mask manufacture
Yep you are right Landy7, but I believe the Nanoparticles are only manufactured & then printed onto the material in P2F's Laboratory in Nottingham? I did read that mask production could be outsourced until P2F's production line is operational & so not only am I optimistic mask production has already begun, I believe Dr Cave will be taking a box of masks with him to the hospital on the 9th Dec!
Just out of interest, where are Volz getting their copper Nanoparticles from for their masks? There was a RNS a few months ago from Braveheart says P2F had 2 machines to make these Nanoparticles but if they’re also being used to make the silver & zinc particles, have P2F had more Nanoparticle making machines delivered, are they subcontracting some Nanoparticle manufacture or are the 2 machines they have sufficient for all production?
"Why is production abroad so much more efficient? It's using the same machine. We don't know where the orders are being sent yet so so surely better in UK for now?"
I thought Volz were modifying their existing machines for production whereas the P2F machine was being custom built in Spain?
So...do we think Dr Cave will take a box of masks to the hospital with him & if so, will they be UK or German manufactured?
Shame it took an RNS to answer my question!
Just look at the millions & millions of share buys on LSE share trades!!!
do we know if the production machine has actually been delivered yet??
Yes, but does anyone know if the mask production machine that we designed & built has been delivered yet...& if so, has it been installed & functional?
Has anyone seen or heard anything about the manufacturing machine being delivered to D6 Building, Thane Road? Not sure how big this machine would be or if it's being delivered in kit form? They may well have trucks craning off pallets/machinery all the time around there but last I heard it was still being delivered?
