I sincerely mean no offense by this....
but do you know how to read? Don't sling accusations of desperation at me when I was making a darkly comedic commentary after addressing a question another poster brought up asking if there are essentially IP holding companies making money.
The suing comment was in reference to how most IP/patent holding companies make money these days, which is through suing the hell out of big companies using their technology without permission or even challenging their right to own the patent in court. Most of the patent holding companies usually win and it reaps big rewards for shareholders. I was jesting that it would have been better off if BAT or another big tobacco company stole and successfully used XXII's technology at this rate. It's something called a joke.
I wasn't indicating that's the case with XXII, just poking fun. So, please, calm your nipples, good sir.
