Tred - You're absolutely right !
Rambus was a textbook case of the power, corruption and influence that can be brought to bear by colluding industry giants to crush a fledgling tech company with very disruptive technology. Beyond subversive business practices, judicial and political influence were heavily employed. And yes, many years later, found in discovery was a meeting ( attended by many of the colluding giants ) agenda header " What to do about Rambus " with a list of 8-10 suggestions for discussion.
So, as many here have previously stated, I feel having an 800lb. gorilla in our corner as a partner that can fight the battles for us is critical ( Merck for AD and PDD in the US comes to mind ). On Friday, TGD confirmed his plan to partner for AD and PDD, so hopefully those license agreements ( with the typical conditions and benchmarks ) are coming down the home stretch and will be ready to announce either upon our first positive trial results or approval ( most likely in Australia ).
As Polarbear ( BTW - he/she has been hitting it out of the park this weekend ) pointed out, it would be almost inconceivable for the BP's not to be keenly aware of the Anavex science and trials. And, as more of the iceberg is revealed, we should not underestimate the desperate measures to be used and lengths to which these companies will go in order to save their businesses, and crush ours.
My thanks to the many wonderful members of this MB. If things turn out the way we hope this stock could be like investing in Microsoft in 1986.
