Thank you milestone for your clear words:

"The only difference is that I don't blame the BoD for delays outwith their control, nor do I have a problem with them removing S&L or the terms, as it was what I had hoped they would do, and the sooner the better. GREED got me here, GREED keeps me here, and with every new licensee/USPTO update the pragmatist in me sees an increasing justification for my GREED.
It's a less a question of supporting the BoD but more of proctecting my investment."

People who are able to invest money in an OTC stock should be able to understand the simplest coherences - but it always amazes me how people on this messaging board completely block out reality.

A simple question No.1 to all those, who "KNOW" (lol):
What is the main reason an infringing company is finally willing to negotiate for a license?

a) The wonderful eyes from the nice guy from TPL

b) The incredible BoD of PTSC

c) The outstanding hairstyle of a judge

d) The final re-validation of the MMP by the USPTO

Provided you were able to find the right answer we come to the more sophisticated part - question No. 2:
How long does it take until TPL/PTSC receive a cheque after an infringing company decides to negotiate for a license?

a) Just seconds - they are handing over suitcases full of money before the negotiation

b) Some days - they first have to get the money from a bank account in the Carribean

c) Days, weeks, months - depends from the complexity of the product range and the willingness of the company

d) Never - they rather go broke than paying one Cent to a company with an inept BoD as they have read on the famous AGORA board

It takes only two correct answers and it could be able you'll find yourself in a complete new situation:
You might understand the bigger picture.

Wishing you well!
