Monetization Possibilities (PLURAL and in parallel)

posted on Apr 13, 2015 09:10AM

I keep pondering on this section of the MD&A below :-

PTI is actively working on multiple fronts related to technology milestones. The original target completion dates of the “PET PDK” (originally called to “PET PTK”) was Q3 2014, and for both the “electrical 100-nm ring oscillator” and the “50 GHz VCSEL” was Q4-2014. All timelines were extended to Q1-2015. These three milestones continue to be POET’s primary focus while in parallel advancing on the IP monetization plan. Monetization possibilities are progressing through the expanded agreement recently signed with BAE Systems and implementation of the “Technology Roadmap Advisory Committee”, amongst other developments.

The part that really jumps out to me is that monetization possibilities are mutli-pronged.

1.0 Through the expanded BAE agreement

2.0 Through the implementation of the TRAC (only outsider on board is Blevins).

3.0 Through other developments (plural).

So that tells us that monetization possibilities of progressing on at least 4 fronts, and in parallel to the milestones.

There is clearly a huge amount going on that we simply do not yet know the details of.
