That Edig is taken over for at least 1 billion dollars if not more. The patents are worth that. That way its the stock holders that are in the cat bird seat. If an offer t buy is made its not the BOD that make the decision. Any settlement made will only effect those who work for edig. If the settle for peanuts you will have nothing to celabrate about. It will mean that they will continue to make their salaries.
