Has the team concerned submitted and eventually had approved a patent of some description in the course of their research and specifically relating to technology they developed? If so, what relevance is that pattern to publishing historical evidence? And what is the specific information that you base your 'guessing' on?
Is invented technology not a type of solution? Semantics. Anyway, perhaps their solution isn't patented, but proprietary and that was just an assumption on my part. But their unique use of SAR technology to analyse micro movements generated by background seismic waves to generate 3D tomographic images is a solution devised by that team.
