No doubt. These additional patents protect their right to capitalize on all potential revenue streams that can be generated from the use of the monitor. Good for them, this is what investors need to have to take the risk on the company. Ultimately, it benefits us since that's the only way we will ever be able to buy one of the monitors.As an engineer, I can tell you this is pretty typical of patents. The more the better, as you can cover more ground to protect yourself. I'd be surprised if there isn't some in there which cover manufacturing aspects too.
