− | Ein Patentantrag mit der Nummer US2011/005506 A1 (''Method and apparatus for carrying out nickel and hydrogen exthermal reactions'') wurde von Rossi am 16. September 2010 in den USA eingereicht und am 13. Jänner 2011 durch das Patentamt veröffentlicht. Der Antrag spricht nicht von kalter Fusion sondern beschreibt ein Gerät um mit Nickel und Wasserstoff eine exotherme Reaktion herbeizuführen.<ref>[http://newenergytimes.com/v2/sr/RossiECat/docs/2011RossiUSPatentApp.pdf Method and Apparatus for carrying out nickel and hydrogen exothermal reaction], United States Patent Application Publication</ref> Das US-Patentamt wies den Antrag mit der Nummer 12/736193 (Anmeldedatum 16.9.2010) am 26.3.2014 zurück.<ref>http://s1177.photobucket.com/user/chris20055/media/rossi_nf_rejection/p1_zpsa73f7d58.jpg.html</ref> Der Gutachter schreibt dazu: ..''The specification is objected to an inoperable.
