That's a great point. If a broader claim is both supported by the specification and they could get it past the prior art, they could try for broader reach in a continuation patent application. To do so, though, they'd have to file the continuation before this patent issued. Checking USPTO records, it appears they did not.
- xfghpu 13y agoUnfortunately, you are wrong. There is a continuation pending - you can look it up at http://portal.uspto.gov/pair/PublicPair http://portal.uspto.gov/pair/PublicPair under application number 13/220,621. The claims in this application appear to be broader than those that were issued. They can also file any number of continuations they want off of this pending application.
