Just poorly thought out. Lets start with the usual conspiracy against the status quo. The movie was made this year (2009), oil companies everywhere are diversifying into alternate energy programs. They own the distribution channels so why would they not simply buy in?
Having a patent does not mean the inventor gets rich, ask Tesla (the inventor, not the car company) and too many others to cite. The inventor typically sells the rights due to costs of refining the product, procuring business credit to buy more than a few parts, selling the product, distributing the product.
The guy at the patent office who logs in and removes the patent application. Database systems with that much at stake log every event. And that deletion would have been noticed. Also the servers get backed up nightly so the application is ** still ** in the system.
The hit men, if you are from small town America everybody notices the strangers in town who are riding around in a black (helicopter) SUV. They were wearing suits and ties. And they are careless. You just can't shot and kill everybody and no one notices.
The reporter whose truck was run off the road. Why did the hit men just assume the two reports were dead, they should have searched around the vehicle.
Just stupid stupid movie.
