Filing a patent takes about 2 months, they've been on this nonsense for 4 years or so.
Edit: 14 years...
IIRC, they had something on the order of ~50 patents, which they only started on 3-4 years ago. The first 10 years of the project were entirely spent on thinking up of the new, patentable ideas that go into the thing. As Ivan says, you can't put a schedule on insights--they happen when they happen.
Not to mention this is still basically a spare time project for all of them.
Well I guess I'll wait another 14 years before I comment again. I'm sure you'll all still be here pretending this is a real thing.
