"I can not for the life of me figure out why people are willing to perpetuate a canard like that."

As long as there is nothing exiting happening, we can do two things: shut up or speculate. I preferred to speculate, but said this many times: it's only speculation and I like it...;-))...and btw: doesn't hurt anyone, doesn't it?

"...MMP is pretty much history."

I don't agree on this.

Please have a look at PTSC's presentation from the SHM 10/30/08:

"- Leverage MMPTM licensing proceeds for future growth

- Enhance long term shareholder value – Increase PE on MMP earnings

- MMP Licensing effort

- Active licensing program through The TPL Group (TPL)/Alliacense

- Hundreds of potential licensees have been put on notice

- Strong global licensing program with 52 licensees to date

- MMP licensing revenues through Phoenix Digital Systems (PDS) JV

- Nearly every manufacturer of microprocessor chips or electronic systems is a potential licensee of MMP technology

- Licensing activity is unpredictable ...becoming an operating company smoothes MMP revenue variability"

If the MMP would be history, this presentation would be false information, thus I guess, we can rely on the strength of the MMP and the Markman outcome from last year for the 336 and 148 didn't show something different.
