Dr. Lias comment about the lack of interest in the IP by BP was in response to a question by Brandon Cox about the declining IP clock. His example was that if BP knows that it will take about 70 million dollars and 3 or 4 years of trials to get a drug to market, then a 5 year patent life is just not that exciting to them.

This doesn't address the question of getting a patent extension, however. If this is true, then Dr. Lias needs to be made aware of it.
