A patent allows one skilled in the art to re-create the "invention"... however, this reads more like a published study than a recipe for his brand name product.

Difference between patent and patent pending?
A patent is a grant from a patent office, such as the United States Patent Office. "Patent Pending" is a phrase that an application for a patent has been filed and is in some stage in the process of obtaining a patent. Thus, a patent can be presently enforced while a patent that is merely pending is unenforceable but can mature into a patent that can be enforced. Once the pending patent matures, the patent owner can sue for back damages or reasonable royalties starting from the filing date of the patent.
How many years is a patent valid?
A "pending patent" does not exist. A patent application which is pending at the patent office is typically referred to as "patent pending", but has not yet matured into an enforceable right. A patent application can, in theory, be pending indefinitely as long as you are willing to pay to keep it alive (via Requests for Continued Examination or via continuation applications, and so forth).

Can someone apply for a patent while a product is under pending patent?
Absolutely. The term "patent pending" applied to a product has no legal ramifications. It's just advertising that they are trying to patent the technology that went into the product. Only an issued patent is enforcable. Some products will print patent numbers on their packaging if patents have issued for the technology. You cannot get a patent for something you didn't invent though. Filing a patent application involves signing an oath, and lying under oath is perjury. Patent pending can only be displayed on the product/services, when you have applied for a patent. So, there is no question of applying for a patent while a product is under pending patent. http://indiapatents.blogspot.com
