Guys, I'm not saying it "can't" happen...(big fish signing a license agreement with Andalay)
I'm just saying it hasn't happened yet...
That is according to official documents from the company filed with the SEC
Even though they've been "partners" with these 3 for some time now...
Could it be that licensing the high profit margin frame/mounting hardware is something akin to a Mcdonalds licensing it's beverage stand?
I mean in any restaurant -all the profit is in the drinks - not the food...
This is why you don't see an "Andalay Soda" stand in any Burger King, McDonalds or subway- they keep it all for themselves...
Along these lines
Do you think these "big boys" are all trying to keep from paying
.20-.30 cents a watt to Andalay and keep it for themselves by trying to "tiptoe" around Andalay's patents and build "similar" simpler frames themselves?
OR...in a larger (nastier) business scheme..
are they are all thinking...Hey! if Andalay doesn't get any license agreements, it will falter and then we can buyout the patents in a bankruptcy....
Let's face it, Chan says this verbatim in the quarterly..
If they don't get a license agreement - they are toast....
Pumpers, what do you think?
We have a hot product, we have patents, we have a hot industry..
Yet no one is in a hurry to sign on the dotted line?
As shareholders - don't you think it behooves us to ask why?
