I see some reference regarding Mr. Heddle signing
Post# of 43064
As far as a one man operation, the directors are so ancillary that they don't count as part of PTOI. It appears that the only function they've served so far is to loan money to PTOI...which I'm guessing is why Mr. Heddle appointed them in the first place. No, shareholders aren't given the opportunity to vote for directors.
As far as a patent on PTOI's supposed 'technology' which appears to have some people excited, there's no unique way to heat up plastic. Is it a wonder that the patent has been rejected by the U.S. Patent Office so many times?? Additionally even if ultimately rejected, in the U.S. having a patent pending is enough protection. Not having a patent granted hasn't stopped PTOI from moving forward in the past twelve years, in case anyone hasn't noticed. Or ten years since the founder reverse merged his scheme with a publicly traded shell.
A patent also doesn't prove that a process is worthwhile even if PTOI's machinations ultimately result in the Patent Office giving in and issuing a patent. Granted, twelve years of not using the process doesn't prove lack of value...but the lack of use for that long does provide very strong evidence that it's useless. Uselessness is even stronger protection than a patent against theft of the 'technology'.
