****A PHONE CALL FROM DR. MULLAN****
This morning, I emailed Dr. Crawford to ask why the Roskamp Institute would be able to continue any use of anatabine citrate.
I also mentioned to her that I felt like the emails of Dr. Mullan and his personal assistant were adversarial in tone.
Dr. Mullan just called me and I am writing this before I forget what he said. First of all, he pointed out (accurately, I assume?) that Roskamp is a not-for-profit (non-profit?)and, as such, can continue to use anatabine. He said it is a "different story" if it becomes commercial, and in that case, any use would have to be permitted by the IP owners. He said he himself has called the trustee a couple of times and got no response. He said something to the effect, "I'd imagine there would be some kind of bidding" for the IP. I explained what I had just learned about a stalking horse bid, and that I had again emailed the trustee saying that a group of shareholders would like to be informed if there is a stalking horse bid. (I cc'd a law firm email where my brother worked. without his OK. He can yell at me later if he wants to) Dr. Mullan said he also wants to know what is happening and asked me to let him know if I learned anything. I am going to make the decision for myself that, if this was all a plan to "steal" the IP, Dr. Mullan has nothing to do with it. Everything he said rang true. I don't have the same fuzzy feeling about other entities who have been spoken of here in the last year or so.
