A: I do not speak for Justia. For any problems with this site, you are going to have to contact Justia owners directly, and not post it here on Ask a Lawyer.

But to answer your question: Application 14/532,102, titled Systems and Methods for Alcohol Recovery and Concentration of Stillage By-Products, that was published as 20150060259, was abandoned last year. There is no patent. It was abandoned because the applicant failed to pay the issue fee.

A: Maintenance fees are required in order to keep a patent alive. Looks like they weren't paid, so there is no patent.
