Thanks for those thoughts.  I like your line of reasoning, tothestars99 and agree.  I think the weight of the MH and the skills and tenacity of the TPL group is adding up to more than these companies want to continue to resist.  I'm impressed with the organizations that make up our team.

The TPL Group is a purpose-built boutique that specializes in the development, commercialization and management of IP assets as well as the leveraging of those assets to drive advanced product development. Since its founding in 1988, the Silicon Valley based company has logged a solid track record in optimizing IP Portfolio value and protecting IP assets. Adhering to a fundamental strategy of building relationships and implementing win-win transactions, the TPL Group has earned its reputation as a true business partner. The TPL Group's world class resources include:

• Advanced product development focused on distributed digital media applications.

• State-of-the-art techniques and tools to drive, close, and document transactions.

• Outstanding technical and commercial resources to analyze and articulate when, where and how proprietary IP should be licensed and/or protected.

• Superb legal counsel to deliver effective licensing enforcement messages.

In addition to the marquee Technology Properties, Ltd. entity, which is responsible for evaluating new portfolios and business opportunities, the TPL Group includes the following enterprises:

A cadre of senior licensing executives, which manages IP licensing programs across a broad array of industries.
