No one is arguing whether or not EPGL could have 1, 5 or even 20 (patent apps) worth billions.

But yes, it is easily conceivable that EPGL's market cap could exceed 1, 5 or even 20 $Billion in the very near future.

Don't believe what you read from me or my opinion, though. Do your own DD. There are plenty of good links on this board and in recent posts, as well as otcmarkets.com.

Stock PPS is a reflection of the market's perception of future value - based on all any/factors. Most significantly, this includes future potential for profit. Most significantly, high-profit-margin revenue from IP sales and royalties are at the top of the scale for future value, even higher than the kind of value generated by software - what propelled Microsoft and Bill Gates to the top ranks in the world for market cap and wealth. There's no cost of goods sold, no warranty liability, no technical support overhead, no software developers required to rapidly develop the next revision.

This IBM thing that someone started is like comparing apples and... pig knuckles.

However, this technology could easily lead to future value of AT LEAST one of EPGL's patent apps being higher than the value of the best, most profitable patent in IBM's portfolio.

Aside from that...

IBM commands a market cap of $142B. That $1B of high-profit-margin IP licensing/royalties income contributes multiple $Billions to that market cap.

Much of the rest of the $142B market is contributed to by the great majority of patents and other IP that IBM does NOT license or sell. But as one poster stated, even with the large majority of patents and other IP that IBM does not license or sell, only a small number of these actually contribute significantly to revenue, if used at all.

As with all things like this in business and nature, if IBM were to allow anyone to see, you can bet a Pareto chart would show that only a small handful of the IP assets contribute the great majority of the income. Like the 80-20 rule, or the same way the top 20% of income earners pay 84% of the income tax collected in the U.S., for example.
