  • EP grant took 8.5 years, with two examination rounds. The EP file history (EPO Register) could show what the examiner objected to and whether data were filed. Not reached.

WO 94/01176 [web] https://patents.google.com/patent/WO1994001176A1/en

  • Assignee fields list "Em-Probe, Inc." besides the inventor. A US company under that name is not mentioned in any project document. To research (business records).

  • Inventor Панаджиотис Т. Паппас. 24 claims, 3 drawings. Abstract: "FIELD: inducing electromagnetic field inside and around cells in human body, in particular, for therapeutic curing of malignant tumors... plasma of specific content generates characteristic radio frequency which is resonant to treated object. EFFECT: elimination of side-effects." Invalid for non-payment from 2011-07-09 (recorded 2012-05-10).
  • Bears on claims 2, 4 and 5: the Russian version states the cancer purpose outright in the field statement.

US 2006/0220648 A1 -> US 7,151,372 B2 [web] https://patents.google.com/patent/US20060220648A1/en

  • "Method and means of multi-activation of ions and atoms with NMR and EPR", priority 2003-06-30, filed 2004-06-29. Family WO EP US CN JP KR AT AU BR CA DE DK ES GR HR IL IS LT MX NO NZ PL PT RS RU UA.

This is the US 5,556,418 layout. Lapsed for non-payment 2010-04-22.

US 5,068,039 and US 5,239,442 [web] https://patents.google.com/patent/US5068039A/en

  • "Method and device for dispersing ions by remote action". Inventors Jorge Cure, Panagiotis T. Pappas, Harry Eichler. Priority GR890100595, 1989-09-20. Family: WO1991004102A1 "Method and device for removing ions by remote action", AU6421390A. US5068039A filed 1989-12-06; US5239442A filed 1991-11-26.
  • Abstract (Espacenet): remote-action dispersion of charges inside biological matter; "ideal in applying Nordenstrom's method". The 1992 patent repeats this argument.
  • Other names in assignee fields on US5239442A (Technische Universität Dresden, MIT) are probably later citing documents; to check.

EP 0402552 A1 [web] https://patents.google.com/patent/EP0402552A1/en

  • "High ionisation lightning conductor with an oscillating high-voltage converter", Panagiotis Th. Pappas, priority 1989-06-12. Abstract (Espacenet): capacitor in parallel with a coil, spark-gap ("scintillator") break-down activates the oscillatory circuit. This is the same capacitor + spark gap + coil topology as the 1992 medical device.

GR 2018 0200149 U [web] https://patents.google.com/patent/GR20180200149U/en

  • "Earth unbalance device - free energy generation from zero". Inventors Panagiotis Theochari Pappas, Theocharis Panagioti Pappas, Eleftherios Panagioti Pappas. Priority 2018-05-07.

How this bears on the claims

  • Claim 1 (gain from arc): the inventor's line of spark-gap oscillator patents runs from 1988 to 1991, before the medical device, and his "energy creation" claim continues to 2018. The EP grant text and examination file could show whether any gain data were ever filed.
  • Claims 2-4 (bursts, resonance): the RU abstract and the 2003 NMR/EPR family restate the resonance claim in new terms.
  • Claim 5 (therapy): RU text names malignant tumours as the target.
