If POET hasn't approached companies on your list shame on them. Apple has done deals with LQMT and GTAT to help fund development in exchange for certain rights to the licenses with regards to specific products, patents and processes. POET regardless of how they see their future should have explored similar alternatives to ensure that they have access to capital under reasonable terms so that they could continue to develop their products without significant concerns for future capital raises and risks associated with unfriendly acquirers. Controlled discussions with the companies you mention would also give them good insights to the hurdles that they may have to deal with and a cross check against the various alternatives.
