Ok settle down, let me clear this up as you seem to have misinterpreted me twice now. I initially posted that, as a result of the default, the creditor could, if they so wished, quite legally seek compensation which could include rights to IP (not ALL of it, but an attributable portion) - basically they could claim anything that could be assigned a value with reasonable arguement. That is not to say a judge or jury/panel would approve it, but certainly the door is open for them to go after it now. I know if I was in their position, I would be doing exactly that.
Whether you or I like it or not or think it's fair or not is immaterial - the fact is that the default action has opened the possibility for the creditor to make this claim. That was my statement.
Your initial response seemed to infer that I was claiming the creditors were actually going ahead with this action, which is not something I said at all, thus I replied that you were speaking out of context (perhaps "out of context" was poor choice of words by me, but essentially that's what you were doing).
Your next paragraph I am just going to leave alone, it was way too emotional to discuss rationally.
Your final statement that "I am right on this note "They are NOT seeking compensation in the form of an IP" because they know that is unreasonable and know they WON'T get it." ...Again, while you and I may agree it is unreasonable considering the potential in this science, our opinion is immaterial. As far as
'they know they won't get it".. sorry, but you are only fooling yourself imho. Any half-decent lawyer or prosecutor could tell you that you go for as much as possible, and then negotiate it down from there. If you're lucky, a judge/jury/panel will not be as informed or as 'sold' on this science as you or I are, and not appreciate the true potential, and thus, if the lawyer is worth his/her salt, they will convince the judge/jury/panel exactly what constitutes reasonable compensation and why.. and the current pps could actually support their claim.
You of course are entitled to your opinion that no lawyer would even try. My experience tells me most definitely otherwise, and in fact they would be fools not to.
Hope that clears that all up.
