All those patents are still on www.upsto.gov. I did a search on all the authors and found no new patents on air-ships, nor did Lock-Mart have any new patents on such aircraft. Note that companies generate patents for the sole use of trading them with other companies to settle lawsuits. It may be that some other aerospace company was working on lighter-than-air craft and Lock-Mart figured they better generate a few patents just to have handy if they want to get into the business later.

Here are a few interesting recent lock-mart patents.

6,758,032 pulse detonation
6,409,122 uav for submarine detection
6,550,715 vtol trick
6,714,306 optical method to sense sound
6,729,575 vstol system, probably jsf related
