I also think the idea has considerable merit.
However, I do believe the initial settlement would of greater benefit if it was cash only, whatever DM can negotiate as a fair settlement.
We desparately need the operating cash, and with 166 infringers remaining, plus the present eight there will be opportunity to enter into a partnership, perhaps one with greater market potential and more innovative technology.
There is plenty of time to explore both partnerships and acquisitions. Each of the scenarios address the future and employ a long term business plan.
What are your thoughts?
