TheMint: Question, if you were given $500 million today as a CEO of a Manual Medical Device M.I.S. manufacturer (example, Karl Storz, Olympus, R. Wolf, Stryker, A.C.M.I., etc) with the mandate to develop a robotic single port Platform to maintain market dominance, would you;
A- Go right to work from scratch and navigate among the patents & patents pending issued to the handful of Advanced robotic companies with ongoing R&D to develop a product for commercial sale on a go it alone basis. This knowing the risk that it would cost you say $100 million to find out at some point that some or all of your prototype infringes on utility patents?
B- Approach one of the handful of Advanced robotic surgical Platform companies to see if they would be interested in a royalty to use their technology?
C- Take one out?
D- Just accept that once your technology and sales gets phased out by robotics, you will have saved your company $500 million?
