He has contacts in India, correct?
One of the highest expenses in our patent infringement effort has been reverse engineering as we prepare the "report" to provide to infringing company to show them why they are infringing.
India has many good engineers, technical people, with costs lower than those found in Cupurtino California with TPL. Perhaps we have a plan in place that if PTO validates our patent once again, we will begin reverse engineer en masse.
Saves us money and ramps up effort.
Just thinking what the new guy brings to the party.
