Man they take a long time to approve a Patent, so long in fact that they aren't granted before the next model is released & it has to go through the process again from the start...

When you do a proper search you will find there is no Patent Pending...

I wonder how legal the statement "Patent Pending" is when in fact it appears there isn't.....

@Kiwi Greg "Patent pending" means that an application for a patent has been made, and serves notice that copying the product may amount to a breach if and when the patent is approved.

If a patent has not been applied for the "patent pending" assertion could amount to miss-representation under the law.
