Maybe if I were a potential partner, and I'd signed an NDA in order to see a full Nunchi demo... and I liked what I saw enough that I thought it would be worth investing in (including co-development and bringing it to market)...
...I suppose that before committing a lot of (marketing, etc.) resouces to the concept of Nunchi, then I'd perhaps want to ensure that it was protected first. I'd want to know that EDIG owned the I/P that I was agreeing to license, and that some other entity couldn't simply offer the same thing (at least without any risk on their part).
Hmmm.... you might just be right about this.
