I just don't get it:

PTSC and TPL are on the brink of starvation because of the ridiculous patent system of the US, which is probably "supported" by the big companies who prefer to pay millions to their lawyers instead of paying a fair price to those who invented the fundamentals on which the infringer built and build their products they sold/sell worldwide for billions - and the only thing I read over and over on this board is the same old story about the BoD, the bad Leckrones and so on.

Is anyone of you capable to take a look back and judge the events/developments from 2005 until today without the "They-took-all-the money-from-me"-glasses?

If so, you might find that all three participants of the MMP acted as if the golden years had finally begun (the same the shareholders believed):

- TPL grew its business with full power worldwide - does anyone of you think the Leckrone's goal was to throw out their money for several expensive employees?
Wouldn't it be more realistic to allege TPL thought the money from the MMP would come in in a huge flow?

- Moore developed new businesses and purchased some houses as we learned from his blog and if you remember he wrote something about his financial expectations some years ago - does anyone of you think Moore had these expectations because he was/is a weird genius without contact ro reality?
Wouldn't it be more realistic to allege Moore thought the money from the MMP would come in in a huge flow?

- At last PTSC completely cleaned its books, "threw" out the divies, got rid of the financier and started the M&A-strategy - does anyone of you think this was done in order to close the company in a proper condition until the money bag was empty?
Wouldn't it be more realistic to allege PTSC thought the money from the MMP would come in in a huge flow?

Of course there were mistakes made by the management and the BoD but that's the way business goes: there are good and bad decisions you make as a company leader and often enough the alleged good decisions turn out to be negative and vice versa.
In a nutshell: All the developments of the last four years indicate a strong faith in the power of the MMP by all the involved parties - but reality caught them all.
And the reality is the infringers are fighting like crazy to avoid paying - so who's to blame?

All this dumb talk about SEC actions et al is completely missing the one and only point:
The company can't do anything as long as the USPTO & infringers "freeze" the MMP.

Good night.
