Nope. Probably waiting for the bid to come back that should have been filled yesterday.
It was NOT a prop bid! I promise you that!
Question...how much revenue does a pharmaceutical startup company generate through the R&D and FDA approval years? How much would they generate if a Big Pharma company with unlimited cash steals their patented formula and beats them to the market with the drug?
Let me help you...zero! After spending all that money on getting the formula developed & patented, the little start up has nothing to sell any longer. All they can do is try to prove their patent has been infringed. As shown over and over in the court system, this is no easy fight. The Bigs KNOW it’s more profitable to steal than invent. Must small companies go broke trying to defend their patents & prove infringement.
Yet, VPLM is still standing and fighting multiple Bigs at the same time and have a top notch IP law firm on their side. I wonder why? Possibly because the longs here understand the fight and are willing to support the company to either see the litigation through to a win with a large ROI or are willing to risk their investment 1x down in the event of a loss. After all, nobody can lose more than 100% of their ORIGINAL investment. If the investor can’t stomach the ups & downs and twists & turns of patent play stocks, then maybe she/he should just sit out and save themselves some anger & anxiety!
Go VPLM! GLTA
Man the amazing amount of dumped shares today just makes me laugh. There was a bid for 2 MILLION shares today at .0125! If this stock were the POS that it’s claimed to be, why didn’t the MM dump those “diluting” shares and pocket the cash? After all, it’s going to hit trips soon right? Should’ve taken the 1.25 cents while they can get it. Pretty sure we’ve heard more than once that “Nobody wants this POS.”
BUT somebody wants to keep their shares long because NOBODY WAS WILLING TO PART WITH 2 MILLION SHARES TODAY. Based on the trade data, only 150,000 shares were traded at that price!
Apparently Emil & company failed the “dump” test today with a legitimate BID for 2 MILLION shares.
This is classic. If it were an “ask” price, it would be the seller. This is a .0125 bid which is the buyer!! And it’s not filled yet BECAUSE NOBODY IS WILLIN TO SELL AT THAT PRICE! OMFG!
Really? So now the PTAB is in anntje pump? The stock ran up to 0.45 per share when VPLM went 8-0 on the IPRs.
Thanks DB. The key paragraph below is very applicable to VPLM. It’s interesting to see APPLE is the biggest filer of challenges at the PTAB. Wonder if it’s because they are one of the biggest infringers of their competitor’s patents.
“In fact, a recent study found that for the top filer of patent challenges at the PTAB—Apple—56% of its challenges were duplicative (i.e. Apple filed multiple petitions challenging the same claims). Furthermore, patent infringers have begun to institute proceedings attempting to invalidate patents by filing with both the PTAB and in federal court simultaneously, directly contrary to the America Invents Act’s goal of providing an alternative to resolving validity challenges in expensive district court litigation. These duplicative proceedings only add expense and uncertainty for patent holders, rather than providing the promised alternative to prolonged, resource-intensive litigation.”
And to quote Steve Jobs, “Good artists copy, Great artists steal!” Yep he said that in 1996. You think that attitude is or was pervasive within Apple?
DB - is there a way to know or find the total number of actual buy/sell transactions throughout a given day for VPLM? I’m not sure how to find that info so I’m curious if you know.
Seems to be a pretty ineffective “pump n dump” going on today. I sure wish the dump would happen so I can get my order filled!
Yes DB, the 1,000,000 share bid is still there. Trust me!
Thanks DB. I agree Judge Koh will have more cases overturned on Appeal. We keep seeing more and more proof that Koh is a real fart smucker!
And is currently on Appeal. Funny how some conveniently ignore that step in the legal fight.
I suspect the earlier dismissals will be reversed by the Appeals court. Koh May have advanced knowledge if that and decided to changed her tune in the last case. If not, why was the claim construction hearing date set in October. If she were going to dismiss the case, there is no reason to reschedule a claim construction hearing.
What? No dismissals? Odd, thought I remember reading something about Koh just getting everything ready to dump VPLM?
There’s a reason it’s called “intellectual property.”
Not everything that is worth something begins as a physical object! “Intellectual property refers to creations of the mind: inventions; literary and artistic works; and symbols, names and images used in commerce.”*

Nice summary Bird. Totally agree with all of your points...especially the last one.
If anyone, who can comprehend the English language, reads the VPLM & Apple responses, it should be pretty clear who has the better legal team and legal position.
After all, 8-0 at the PTAB is really nothing anyway...it’s kind of like having a lifetime batting average in MLB above .350*
*For those who are not baseball fans, there are only 3 players IN MAJOR LEAGUE HISTORY that have a lifetime batting average above 0.350
Everyone has a right to their own opinions regarding VPLM...even if it’s a bunch of conjecture! That’s the beauty of America...or was...we’re all free speak our opinions even if they are not grounded in fact.
Exactly. Same results...
- No sub penny purchases
- No new case dismissals
- No Apple IPR wins
- No reverse split
- No SEC lawsuits against VPLM
- No toxic death to VPLM
To quote DB...
“VPLM is in the BEST POSITION EVER!”
Great speculation. What does very soon mean? Seems like we’ve been hearing this stuff for years now with no movement.
Bird - Its easy to recognize that there is more twisting and turning of VPLM facts than in the Tianmen Shan Big Gate Road (the Dragon Challenge in the Range Rover commercial). Facts are stubborn things. Thanks for clarifying the offer “leak” again.
Umm...there was NO CHANGE IN CONTROL therefore there is nothing to report to the SEC. Facts are stubborn things.
“MATERIAL” changes must be reported when they actually happen otherwise the comments would be classified as “forward looking statements.” Or as many here seem to refer to them as “PR releases” or “pump statements”.
Go VPLM!
EXACTLY! The same is true in how they view IP owned by other companies! They play be their own rules BECAUSE it’s cheaper to steal and be suited than admit and have to pay licensing fees!
Just going to leave this right here.
“When a company rises to the top, there will always be opportunities to exploit its power for more money.
Apple turned down the FBI when they came knocking. The Federal government wanted the access and ability to unlock Apple’s phones, but the tech giant refused.
This was a major statement of brand integrity from Apple. Customers knew they could trust that their personal privacy was in safe hands.”
From e29marketing.com
Or “...the ones that aren’t...” are agents of fake news about VPLM to keep the PPS down to choke off VPLM funding to fight the Bigs.
Gee, thanks for stating the obvious about how a lawsuit work. Apparently the entire thread wasn’t read to understand the sarcasm behind my conmen about just “ignoring” the lawsuit.
#SMDH
Apple (the brand) stands for innovation and integrity. If they buy out VPLM, then sue other infringers for doing the same exact thing they would have to admit to, how would that reflect in the brand? Would you trust any company that blatantly lies then admits they were lying? Not to mention one who needed to steal from another company to remain innovative? Think about the publicity nightmare it would create for Apple...not to mention a few bruised egos in the C suites!
Maybe in the lawsuits they’re responding to VPLM but that’s not true in the 2 new IPRs that will just drag this out further. Apple is consciously LEADING those filings!
Agreed. They must respond to the lawsuit and defend THEMSELVES however that defense, if they are innocent, should be quick and without delays of filing more IPRs. Why would any company want to drag out any lawsuit where the KNOW they’re innocent. Time = Money. The faster they can “beat” the little guy, the more money they get to keep. It makes no logical sense to keep this thing going year after year.
Using the same logic presented in the “fake” Dr Gil offer response, why wouldn’t Apple, AT&T, Verizon, Twitter, Amazon, etc just ignore “fake” infringement lawsuits from a scam company. Unless of course the Bigs are into wasting millions of dollars on frivolous lawsuits from a scam company with no standing in their lawsuit.
It just don’t add up...or maybe there really is something of substance that the Bigs feel they must fight. In their continued fight and filing 2 NEW IPRs against VPLM, the Bigs keep revealing their “consciousness of guilt.” The Bigs keep dragging the whole thing out by throwing in every obstacle the can come up with. If the Bigs are truly innocent of the charges, they should be RUSHING this to a jury trial to quickly prove how they didn’t do anything...but the opposite has been happening. Now I wonder why that is?
Opinions are not facts! Nobody on the outside knows exactly how all the lawsuits or foreign patents will play out. Dismissals will lead to appeals, appeals may overturn dismissals, then it’s back to a trial. It’s not over until all legal options have been exhausted.
Sub-penny? Not buying it but will be buying again if it gets there.

“The only thing we have to fear is fear itself!” FDR
Right on DB! Nothing like speaking truth with a quote from good ol’ Ben Graham. After all, Graham taught Warren Buffet a thing or two about investing!
GLTA!
Mistype...meant “can’t have a Bid WITHOUT an Ask”
Let’s not forget the Ask was $ 0.032. Can’t have a Bid with an Ask just like there’s no sell without a buy.
Another day passed and VPLM is still standing strong...they haven’t been KNOCKED DOWN by Apple yet!
Go VPLM!
Another day and VPLM still standing strong...not plowed over yet by Apple! Seems like many claims for the day of reckoning have come and gone.
Go VPLM!
Truth right there Bird! Facts matter. I still believe the Bigs have employed agents against VPLM in an effort to keep the PPS down and starve the company of their only source of income. Selling stock to defend their patents IS their source of income as any long here knows. All the cries of scam this and troll that keep falling short of sinking VPLM.
At this point, all we can do is wait for the slow wheels of the Justice system to turn.
Go VPLM! GLTA!
BTW...I never mentioned “VERBAL defense”. If my recollection is correct, that hearing was for claim terminology/construction. Koh never gave VPLM a chance to DEFEND anything because she dismissed WITHOUT ALLOWING arguments for or against any “constructed” claims.
Wow...so a plaintiff (or defendant) in a patent case should NEVER be allowed to speak in court to provide detail to a judge or a jury. Got it...may all the courts be silenced from this day forward because all the data “should be contained within.”
What a bunch of BS!
_______________________________
There shouldn't need to be any VERBAL defense of a patent dismissal. All of the data required should be contained within.
_______________________________
I know, right?
Sure seems odd that a non-biased, straight shooting (wink-wink) judge like Lucy Koh would knowingly employ such careless critical thinking skills & shortsightedness in not allowing THE OWNER OF THE PATENTS present a verbal argument in support of the lawsuit THEY filed...Unless, of course, she’s NOT the non-biased, straight-shooter that many think she is!
Maybe she’s collecting “little pieces of the Apple” for the future.
So Koh knows more about VPLM patents than the patent reviewer who who actually granted the patents and the PTAB judges that actually HEARD testimony at a REAL trial and ruled in favor of VPLM? Apparently going 8-0 at the PTAB is now meaningless!
Talk about illogical!
If that’s what you think, feel free. All one needs to do to understand what a corrupt judge does in favor of the Bigs is to look at her history!
