Red, I will have to go back and check, but while searching through the patent applications section of the site, I saw filings in there from Nov 2018. They may have been filings where the patent has been awarded. I agree with your rationale, however, of why applications would not be viewable. At least I would think they would give a heading of the application and not allow full visibility.
Either way, can’t wait to read it whenever it becomes public knowledge.
