I think you are right.
IMO, Dr. Nunally would not have accepted the position unless he saw something positive in EDIG`s IP / patents.
Maybe he is a smart guy and knows what`s up with the current state of tech. In order to value the license, EDIG`s representatives will need a very compelling case to get some of the possible mean ole Copy Cats to cough up some cash.
Meawhile, back at the ranch, Willy needs to concentrate on selling more stuff, IMO.
