Value of intellectual property: while MVTG is developing a new swiss role fuel cell, Ballard gave up their ownership of their fuel cell for auto's. When Larry and other tech workers have the swiss role design ready for commercial application, the licensing fees could be leveraged for maximum profits while keeping IP in house, but the value is obvious:

Ballard Power Systems (NASDAQ: BLDP; TSX: BLD) today announced that the Company has entered into a Technology Solutions transaction with Volkswagen Group (Volkswagen AG, www.volkswagenag.com and Audi AG, www.audi.com) for an aggregate amount of approximately US$80 million for the transfer of certain automotive-related fuel cell intellectual property (IP) and a two-year extension of an engineering services contract. Ballard will transfer the automotive-related portion of fuel cell IP assets previously acquired from United Technologies Corporation, in return for payments from Volkswagen Group totaling US$50 million
