  1. Mexican patent application MX NL02000035 A [web: https://patents.google.com/patent/MXNL02000035A/en ; https://worldwide.espacenet.com/patent/search/family/034431908/publication/MXNL02000035A ; PDF copy https://www.rexresearch.com/SmithOUDevices/MXNL02000035A.pdf, saved as files/MXNL02000035A.pdf, 10 pages, image only] - Front page [read: page image p.1 of files/MXNL02000035A.pdf]: Instituto Mexicano de la Propiedad Industrial (IMPI); "(12) SOLICITUD de PATENTE" (patent application); (43) publication 20/05/2004; (22) filed 15/11/2002; (21) application NL02000035 (the NL prefix is the Nuevo León regional office); Int. Cl.7 H01F 00/00; (71) applicant and (72) inventor DONALD LEE SMITH, 8110 Bent Oak Lane 77370-4594 SPRING Texas US; (74) representative JUAN ANTONIO VILLARREAL GUTIERREZ, Puerto Progreso 201-C, Monterrey, Nuevo León 64790 MX. - Title: "TRANSFORMADOR GENERADOR DE RESONANCIA MAGNETICA A ENERGIA A ENERGIA ELECTRICA" / "TRANSFORMER GENERATOR OF MAGNETIC RESONANCE INTO ELECTRIC ENERGY." - Abstract (English as printed): "an electric-energy generator transformer by electromagnetic means through a potential generator and the employment of capacitor or condenser plates (or bobbins) a receptor component of magnetic energy which is transformed into electric current." - Google Patents status: "not_active", "Application Discontinuation"; family of one (priority MXNL02000035, 2002-11-15); only an A (application) publication, no B (grant) document [web: Google Patents page above]. Espacenet shows the same single publication [web]. - Bearing: this is the formal filing of the "Dipole Transformer Generator" specification (binder pp.10-19; claim 5). The address is the same as on the 1994 speech (binder p.67). The address in the binder cover letter (Houston) and the CEO/TransWorld title do not appear on the filing: the applicant is Smith personally.
  2. "Granted" versus "application": Patrick Kelly's chapter says "in May 2004 he was granted one patent" and heads it "Patent NL 02000035 A 20th May 2004" [web: http://www.free-energy-info.tuks.nl/SChapt31.html]. Bruce Perreault (NuEnergy, 2002) wrote that Smith "has informed me that he is doing this now because his patents in Mexico have been approved" [web: https://energyevo.org/2016/08/05/nuenergy-and-freeenergy-missing-posts/]. The IMPI document itself is headed "SOLICITUD de PATENTE" and the record shows only the A publication and "Application Discontinuation" [web: Google Patents]. On the record read so far, May 2004 is the publication of an application, not a grant. What would settle it: IMPI's SIGA/ViDoc file history for NL/a/2002/000035 (examination reports, abandonment or grant notice).
  3. US application 08/100,074: no public record found. Pre-2001 US applications that were never granted were not published, so silence here is expected, not evidence either way. (A US serial in the 08/ series numbered about 100,000 would normally date from mid-1993, not February 1992 [memory, low-medium confidence; not checked]; Smith's "4 February 1992" may be a conception, disclosure or an earlier filing date.) What would settle it: a USPTO file-wrapper request or PAIR/Patent Center lookup by serial number, or Smith's own correspondence.
