On the questions of patents, isn't it true that patents expire after a specified time? When were the major BIOA patents registered? If all their assets were bought, so were the patents. Seems to me whoever now owns the patents will be running out of time, with respect to "generic" production of succinic acid.
Another reason would be to keep succinic acid off the market for as long as possible, favoring petrochemical interests.
Anyone confirm this? Could this be a reason for the delay, if the Canadian government owns a key share block. Wouldn't Trudeau, or his gov't, seek to protect petrochemical interests. It seems to me someone awhile back suggested Canada own BIOA shares at one point.
