Your thought: ``Tpl is probably going to self lic. deals and release them in a very controlled manner.`` ........Of this I am certain, and this raises another question that I hope our legal scholars may entertain.

As 2015` expiration of the MMP patents approaches, PTSC/TPL will lose rights to litigate for ``present use`` royalties and licenses pertaining to MMP technologies.

Beyond 2015` does not TPL/PTSC retain a legal right to continue in pursuit of damage settlements and sue for claims of infringments having occurred during the past life span of the MMP portfolio?

Or are we bound by a statute of limitations or ``sunset clause`` that defines our timeline within which we must confront infringers for settlements and compensations?

Given: If ample ``Past`` infringement targets remain beyond 2015` and the TPL/PTSC MMP partnership continues.....Theoretically and or legally when must we cease?

Thanks for your thoughts, Raillery
