TWO QUESTIONS FOR THE I/T AND LEGAL GURUS HERE....

First let me say that I am impressed by the DD drilling that some of you do on this board. With that said, I have a two questions where I would really appreciate your brutally sober and objective opinions.

1) How difficult would it be for Microsoft and/or Google, with their savvy brain trust, to circumvent NEOM's patented bridge by creating a hi-bread technology that would send NEOM largely to the sidelines?

2) If the barriers to entry are so great that the NEOM bridge is the ONLY way to tap into the significant potential that 2D barcode reading offers (is it?), how iron clad are their patents against the power of a Google or Microsoft.? Yes, I know about the recent court settlement.

Comment: is it verifiable that NEOM has met with Microsoft and/or Google? I have read some comments on this board that seem to imply that they have with Microsoft but I’m not much for rumor.

Comment: if NEOM is indeed “in the clear”, a buyout seems almost inevitable to me as the (I'm being honest here) vast potential of this burgeoning technology would seem to overwhelm the rather pedestrian management at NEOM. Note: I have always been somewhat bothered by the fact that NEOM had this technology siting on their shelf gathering dust and that it was only the advent of the Camera phone that made them say..."ah, look what we have here".

Anyway, I am currently using charts as a "portion" of my overall DD on this stock since I am considering making my 1st re-purchase since 2006. I can really use the help of some of you I/T, Legal pros to help with by above questions along with anything else you think I am leaving out. I'm sure there is!

Thank you kindly in advance,
