My guess is that GT realized that keeping the brain trust together
would make the sale more valuable. Patents only go so far...they don't include the "tricks" typically needed to get "it" to work.
As I have said ...Hyperion was a solution looking for a problem...at least in Silicon. It needed to be integrated into a totally new process that did not exist and the economics were not there. Even Sapphire was a stretch in that it needed to be scaled up to make large enough parts for screens and medical was a pipe dream....my opinion.That needed a GE or Siemens or other large player to be viable.

Apparently Smick and Co. believe that they have a path to a product. We will have to wait and see. Maybe another long shot investment opportunity!!
