Imirish, been tracking PTSC for about 2 years now, and though your idea is a good one up front, these two companies have nothing in common regarding rev streams or business models. In fact, R&D for PTSC is also nil at this time, they are setting back collecting 1/2 of the royalities for a patent, while a IP firm takes on future litigators [who are collecting the otherh 1/2]. They will have tons of free cash to give away now... and in the future as they set back and do nothing. PBLS on the other had does not have that much cash, nor future rev's [outside speculation] which would indicate this idea is remotely doable.
You give away money like this because you have tons of it, but if you expect to explore future avenues of a 'designated business model'... OIL, you don't.
So it's not as if PA wouldn't, but he won't, because there are immediate needs far more important.
Best,
