The application resulting in this patent was filed in September 2001. Since it is proprietary information, it is not public record until either it publishes in the U.S. Patent Office or the Patent issues, in this case, in November 2007. However, in patent cases, an originally filed patent application (called a "Parent") can be 'divided' into several patent applications that could each issue individually at a much later date. That is the case here. This patent is a 'child', or related patent, of a patent application originally filed in 1993.
As such, this Patent was not 'created' the day after the K1 released.
It will be an interesting case to follow for me.
