"TPL knows what they are doing and the mmp is strong..."

Who could possibly dispute that? I've always felt, from the point when I finally understood what was going on, that I was actually invested in TPL, not Patriot; it's just that the only way to do that was to hold Patriot shares. If TPL were also a public company, which one would you invest in, TPL or Patriot? Be honest."

This is a response to fatwallit, but is actually directed to a number of posters here that like to do the chant of " TPL is the real reason I'm here...." Patriot hired Alliacense to manage their patent portfolio. This is no different than if Patriot had hired their own lawyers/consultants to sue infringers, except that Alliacense are experts at doing what they do, and they happen to be affiliated with TPL. In other words Patriot had 3 options - continue the fight for 100% rights to the patents, or join up with TPL and use Alliacense to enforce their patent rights, or hire other consultants to do the same. While the 3rd option is probably not a really good option since it is my understanding that it would take all holders of the patents to jointly legally enforce the patents, it was still an option. After all, didn't we sign AMD and TPL sign Intel separately.

So all and all, for all those that like to scream PTSC doesn't know what they are doing and it's all TPL, I've got to seriously question your business sense in following that thinking. PTSC has patent rights. That's all they have. What else were they to do but hire someone to enforce those patents. And because they picked someone that is very good at it they are bad businessmen???
