where he claims being in negotiations with Asian manufacturers to let them piggy back on his Microsoft "Android License". You know, Microsoft charges a fee to Android manufacturers, even if Microsoft didn't write Android at all. It's a "Covenant Not to Sue", just in case Android might violate some undisclosed Microsoft patent. As a result, Microsoft makes more money from Android devices than Google does.
HPNN CEO obtained a Microsoft License 3 years ago, for the phones he isn't selling (the company hasn't sold a single cell phone in 10 years). About 10,000 manufacturers have obtained a similar license. The License doesn't cost a cent. You just promise M$ a royalty on your cell phone and tablet sales.
The CEO has a notion that Asian manufacturers can save money by using his license, instead of, you know, just getting the same license from Microsoft itself.
The text of the license (with the royalties rates blanked out) has been made public in the Microsoft v Samsung lawsuit. It is "required" for manufacturers or OEMs (who contract out the manufacturing), but do not apply to importers, resellers or distributors, which Hop-On would be in that context.
The CEO sayzs that such a deal would increase HPNN market cap to several billion $$$ dollars. "I am not saying 100% we are getting the deal. I am saying its looking good"
He also claims that his legal team is on the job. Hop-On has no legal team, according to its financials. HPNN current lawyers seems to be a sleazy divorce & odd jobs lawyer, a real Lionel Hutz. -------
On the Pot front (Hop-On purports to be in Phones and Pot both, with $0 revenues),
See, he doesn't need no steenking MMJ License, all he needs is to sell his hemp oil to other companies that do have a proper State License. Problem solved!
