And those simple-minded folks who believe that PTSC is paying penny one for efforts by Alliacense to license anything other than the MMP are nuts. Any concerns there could be easily handled by either dedicating personnel specifically to the licensing of one set of patents, and other personnel 100% dedicated to other sets (which would make sense organizationally and to assure proper patent knowledge base). Or they could just use time cards (ever heard of those?). Bottom line, IMO, Alliacense would never risk the intermingling of such expenditure of resources for one very simple reason - it would be FRAUD.

There probably is "intermingling" and it is probably not fraud nor illegal. Offices are shared, office equipment is shared. Are entire budgets re-calculated every time an license is signed for one portfolio or another?

Alliacense is paid for a service. They do not have to dedicate staff exclusively to PTSC or TPL to remain legal. I wouldn't be suprised if some days PTSC is paying more for lunch than for license work. That's just how things work. Every penny is not, and does not have to be, accounted for when there are shared expenses. I suppose you think they also count every piece of printer paper and every ounce of toner and dole out the costs accordingly? How about KW/H for electricity?

And if there weren't absolutely clear procedures in place to assure separation of expenditures, fraud could be relatively easily proven (because in cases of fraud, you must prove INTENT - no measures would seriously imply intent). This would be taken very seriously in the internal operations of Alliacense, with all those lawyers, unless they all want to go to jail.

For someone calling people "simple-minded folks," I would say that is a very simple-minded approach to the law. I like how you equate proof of intent with implied intent.
