Good post, however, if their is no relationship with ethicon/verb we should all be flabbergasted and disappointed that the company that we are invested in is allowing their patents be managed by the same group that is handling Verbs. Especially when there are some synergies between the patents. Would seem like a really stupid move. Don't you think? Also, Ethicon would be really stupid(which I don't think they are) to allow one of their top consultants for robotics to consult with any other potential competitors.
