I'd like to think they have things lined up to submit the patent application if the testing results are favourable, or at least make any last minute amendments before submitting.
Patent filings are not technically protected, but they prohibit the ability of others to try and patent for the same thing as it is in the public domain.
This is why there is silence on what NXP004 is based on at the moment, as any documentation in the public domain may affect the application being accepted.
