I'm also scratching my head over the claim that the acquisition of the assets of Print Mates included 5 patent applications.
Why doesn't the U.S. patent web site show anything under the names of Print Mates and/or Generation Next?
What the heck about this idea is patentable? I think I have been able to find almost the exact same functionality at a machine in my local CVS store for years now. And I can email photos to Costco and other places to be printed and either picked up or mailed. So what is so unique that you'd see the potential for FIVE patents?
Perhaps these and other Print Mates mysteries will be cleared up somewhat through the next 10-Q? We can only hope so. The questions are piling up in my mind:
- What's the business model?
- What's the IP?
- How many have been sold?
- How many are in operation, and what are their revenues?
- How many are held in inventory?
- What was the gross amount of liabilities assumed in the acquisition?
