I will give credit to BLDP for what seems like a pretty shrewd move. They paid $20M (I believe in shares) to United Technologies for the rights to some of their patent portfolio and then flipped those patents to Volkswagon for $80M in cash. It follows a similar model Google followed when they purchased Motorola's patent portfolio and then flipped the ones they didn't want to recapture about $9B of the original $12.5B that Google paid.
BLDP might have the money and network to rapidly deploy MVTG technology, but I doubt they have the funding to buy them. Or what I mean is that I doubt MVTG would sell out at the price a BLDP would be interested.
Personally, I have always believed that MVTG should work to reach the point it can sell itself for $100M to $150M to a company with the funding and infrastructure to more rapidly deploy the technology. MVTG officers and shareholders could cash out at that time, or remain invested in the shares of the acquiring company that no doubt would be involved in any transaction of that kind.
But that is JMO only.
