Didn`t DP say at the SHM that what Intelasys is working on now is crucial to our company? Haven`t their engineers been working on back engineering the tech to determine the companies who infringe? What if Sony made an agreement with TPL to sign on at ``discount prices`` if infringement was infact found and Intelasys has just completed the work. If so, that could be the reason DP used the word ``crucial``---just look at which other companies could be implicated if any of the patents are being used in the cell technology. That could also be a reason that it wasn`t broadcasted too loudly--keep it low key in order to get our own ducks in a row sort of thing (there was a filing for new options since then). Good luck, ads
