is, was PTSC representing to Shareholders that they owned all the patent Rights, when they perhaps knew they didn't, and that Shareholder's only found out differently when TPL and Moore publicly came knocking sometime back in 2003/4 ?
Why was there no mention of a Co-patent holder in any PTSC investors materials that I am aware of prior to the Tender offer, Patent purchase offer, and litigation with TPL/Moore ?
As far as I recall in the public materials made available, why, when back in 2001 with the formal and widely announced IP Evaluation of PTSC covering our patents (the MMP) by Dr. Koury and Inavasis, was there no mention of a Co patent holder, no mention that the commercial valuation from licensing of the PTSC patents was something that could be reduced by paying fees to others besides PTSC ???
I believe the full Inavasis patent evaluation report was never released publically, but Dr Khoury did speak at a Shareholder meeting to share his findings, and PTSC did release the general results of his evaluation in a PR.. at no time do I recall hearing or seeing in print that we were only Co-patent holders referened or discussed at that time.
What did the full non public report to PTSC say ? Did it discuss that we were only Co-Patent holders, and that we didn't own it exclusively ? Would a formal "Evaluation" of this type by a professional of this caliber NOT at least contain the basic recognition within the document that there was another Co Owner ???. Did the full Koury report identify another Co Owner, and if it did, did PTSC have an obligation to make that revelation Public to it's Shareholders at that point ???
