NorthWest Biotherapeutics Inc (NWBO)

Dr. Bosch flatly refused to characterize the actual difference Method A and Method B.

NWBO has said little or nothing about the two methods in the past year.

Why?

Probably they fear intellectual property theft.

Remember that some countries with considerable resources, like China, operate according to a different set of standards and once scientists there know the activation method they can move quickly to get their treatment off the ground.

Remember that these are the guys who had bootleg translations of the latest Harry Potter novel out on the streets before the original English version even came out.

Piracy of DCVax is going to happen. It is too lucrative and too critical for everyone to pay by the rules.

NWBO wants to put off that evil day until it is strong and rich enough to defend its turf before dealing with the inevitable patent infringements that can and will occur with such a lucrative treatment.

That might explain why they're keeping a lower profile than I would like. You have to know the value of something before you try to steal it, after all.

But do not think piracy is a joke.

Countries like China could even justify their theft on humanitarian grounds, assuming they admit that they stole anything at all.

Getting the US government to do something about this theft requires money and political influence, two things that little NWBO patently lacks (no pun intended) and will continue to lack for a long time.
