Let me show you a little about Mr. Phelps. He obviously is not ashamed of being associated with VGLS. In the fourth quarter of 2013 he was awarded stock options in VGLS's Equity Incentive Plan. So it seems Mr. Phelps helped the company with monetizing their patents.

First link is about the book he wrote and think, this is the individual who's helping VGLS.

Marshall Phelps's remarkable eyewitness story offers lessons for any executive struggling with today's innovation and intellectual property challenges. Burning the Ships offers Phelps's dramatic behind-the-scenes account of how he overcame internal resistance and got Microsoft to open up channels of collaboration with other firms.

•Witness the sometimes-nervous support Bill Gates and CEO Steve Ballmer gave to Phelps in turning their company around 180 degrees from market bully to collaborative industry partner

When Viral Genetics, Inc., constituted a new business advisory board in March, it asked Marshall C. Phelps, Jr. to be one of its founding members based on his estimable career as an intellectual-property attorney and strategist for Microsoft

Mr. Phelps, who has engaged private placement subscriptions with the company, found the prospect of a therapeutic breakthrough for HIV and AIDS a compelling argument.

It is from this perspective that he will advise Viral Genetics on the development of its thymus nuclear protein compound and the commercialization of its HIV/AIDS drug, VGV-1. "In my mind, there is no distinction to be made between the business and the legal aspects of intellectual property," Mr. Phelps explains.
