Its not rude at all.

Patents are tough to put a value on and fall into the goodwill category of a Companies worth. A while back Google bought Motorola and then turned around and sold it for a loss. The thought was all they wanted were the patents. They ended up paying $4 billion for 24,500 patents, this includes applications. You do the math on this and that comes to $163,265/patent. LQMT and CIP have around 150 patents. So with this valuation our patents are worth $25 million. This is around $0.05/sh.

The Google patents were largely cell phone type, which I argue, due to their market size, would be worth more. The CIP patents are mostly process oriented. In general process patents are easier to work around. Lots of white space. I would feel better if the formula patents hadn't expired.

This could all be moot since the market has already put a value on the patents. Today that is $0.14/sh.
