Dean is selling the patents but "retaining the rights" to proceed with biz if he chooses. Which, of course means, ovoe would be in competition with the buyer. This would probably work because the biggest obstacle since inception, lack of $$ / employees / marketing / shark financers, etc., would no longer be a ball & chain. But as I've stated this would be akin to holding ones ground in a mom & pop store wth dozers clearing ground for a wal-mart next door.
Ergo, I believe this is the "pop & close up shop" day. But all depends on what the $$ spread is on retaining rights vs "pop & close" & how badly / stubbornly ?, Deano wants to succeed on his own with his baby. ?????????????????????
This was going to happen ultimately. Will it be worth it after all the wait? For some, maybe or apparently not. For me, I'm still betting it will.
For me the loss is minimal at this point but the gains may be mucho.
Ain't we havin' fun now.
Long time, no see, dumo !!
