IMO TPL doesn NOT OWN the MMP portfolio..they are just the controlling entity when it comes to the licensing portion of the MMP...

It's the same old story...one cannot be a "little bit pregnant", they can't pick and choose what they want to tell us and what they don't want to tell us... total discosure is what was behind the Sarbane-Oxley Act and thats why they have the leading officers sign what they do on every SEC form...thus the paragraph containing this statement below is inserted there in the Risk Factors area...

Even worse is the fact that many on our BOD and our Leadership too, may have had this info and bought shares with such knowledge not being brought public...but I'm sure you don't want to go there either...

" Parties have petitioned the U. S. Patent and Trademark Office to re-examine certain of our

patents. An adverse decision in litigation or in the re-examination process could have a very

significant and adverse effect on our business."
