Re: Water Management Sole Source Contract
U.S. Patent Application SN 10/930,688
For: Vessel with Oxygenation System and Decontamination Method
File No.: 6950-02
Dear Mr. Marcos:
We represent Water Management Technologies, sometimes called USA Pelican, Inc. (herein
"Water Mgt"), with respect to its patent matters. Sophie Mastriano, CEO of Water Mgt, requested
that we send you this letter explaining the patent position of Water Mgt.
We hereby represent and affirm that Water Mgt has a pending patent application in the U.S.
Patent and Trademark Office for its invention "Vessel with Oxygenation System and
Decontamination Method." The enclosed data sheet from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office
indicates that the patent is pending and that the patent application was published on January 19,
2006 (no. 2006-0011555A 1).
We further represent and affirm that it normally takes 3 - 4 years to process a patent through
the Patent and Trademark Office and that Water Mgt's application is proceeding in a normal manner.
In addition, we are pleased to inform you that it is highly likely that Water Mgt will be issued a
patent on its Vessel with Oxygenation System and Decontamination Method within the next 8 - 12
months. At that time, only authorized persons will be permitted to use the patented product.
