A big problem with patents is the expense involved with obtaining
foreign patents. It is well beyond anyone below the corporate level
and I think this is why some of the stuff we read and hear about
(smokey Yunik's homogenized process engine) never make it to
production. Probably the most innovative mass production engine in
the last 20 years is the Honda CVCC design.
