Titan Medical Inc (TMDIF)

[Times Yours]

I believe you may be right, IMO. They bring Bertner on for 3 times the amount they were paying Beverly Brooks and we haven't heard a peep from her. I wonder why? I have been a bit surprised at the lack of development in a sales and marketing team. If they are this close to bringing this to Market and a limited market release in the US, which they appear to be, shouldn't we be hearing more work around establishing sales and marketing if they have any intentions of going it alone? I know some have said they are trying not to divulge too much information to Intuitive. I don't buy it. If you were a small start up company this close to commercialization, even with enough funding, you would still want to ratchet up the anticipation for Sport in the marketplace.

A question that I have for the investors who have been following titan for longer than me - how far along were they in development of Amadeus before they changed direction to Sport? The reason that I ask is I have heard mention that quite a few patents are expiring on ISRGs DaVinici that were perceived to be barriers to market for Amadeus sometime over the next year or so. If Titan was far enough along with Amadeus wouldn't that look awfully attractive to say a J and J when evaluating Titan for buyout? They would potentially have two types of robots(sport/Amadeus) for the different needs of hospital/surgery centers? And if Amadeus wasn't that far along their should still be some value in the intellectual property? This might not be factored into investors valuation of the company? Should it be?
