Great post and the point I was trying to make without offending anyone.
I recall a visit with Fred (DRVEN was with me) on Feb 21, 2013. Well, not recalled via my old memory, but I have a written record...lol.
On that date, Nunchi patents (6) were 3 months old.
Fred drew an X/Y graph on the grease board in the conference room.
The 1st line was Flash-R...verticle line was market acceptance/use of flash in CE products begining in 1996 with the horizontal line being time.
The line was virtually flat thru the early 2000's then it rose more exponentially to present time (end of 2012). This was touched on during Q&A at the 9-1-11 SHM, but in verbal form only. Fred then reminded us of comments made that day, then drew a graph to further explain pictorially what was presented to the SH's that day. On this day, he compared what was expected of Nunchi's market acceptance, again in verbal form only, saying it will take 3 to 5 years for the market acceptance to "mature."
What Fred was implying...be patient.
The exponential line for Nunchi was from 2012 to 2017, the 5 year maximum expected time frame from what he said as a possible at the SHM. In other words, no inside info here, just rehashing what the company said in visual form during this visit.
Context awareness, having a personal assistant (Siri, Google Now, Gimbal...long list) is just of late getting into CE products. Heck, it took Dropcam from Nunchi patent apps as they went uncloaked but not yet approved/published from the date of 1st publication (which I can't find) till early 2014 before we had enough evidence of infringement before we sued them for allegedly stealing the IP. Almost 2 years!!!
So, if it took that long to steal it and put it in a product offering, how long is reasonable to give EDIG to sell it the legit way and get Nunchi licenses?
That's at issue here...we want it now, we expect it now.
From the Aug 13, 2014 PR, looks like many have infringed.
So, Fred says market acceptance, use of this type of IP taking 3 to 5 years, that's a guess of starting in Nov, 2012 up to 2017.
Well, "many" have accepted it and are using it in 2 years...lol.
I sure hope we prevail against Dropcam...soon, then have outher outfits say, "lets not go to the lawsuit stuff, lets go to the bargining table and sign up."
We are looking at 2015 to 2016 IMO, before substantial revs if any, come our way from Nunchi licenses.
One year sooner than Falk's maximum guess...YIPPIE...LOL!!!
