Can anyone name me a company that does not have a royalty deal expire when the patent does? If someone cannot, we are in the same boat as everyone else and we all know that....

Not all the patents expire in 2014 either...from the website:

The Flash-R™ portfolio is protected through the years 2014 - 2016.

Per RP in a meeting I attended 9/17/09, "the encryption patent pending is nearly in year 3 of an approximate 3 year process for approval."

The sky is not falling and EDIG's world will not end in 2016....
