Hi Jim: With all do respect...we here can merely speculate with only a modicum of understanding, insight and time to fully digest the impact of any news we have or will be spoonfed, as compared to those that produced said news.
Given that and the enourmous depth of resources that FCB has to find, uncover, prove or disprove, one way or another, the fact and/or myths about a company, before engaging into a joint venture with said comany, don't you think THEY do their homework before agreeing to enter into a binding contract with that company?
And, due to the findings from their own instense, scrutinous DD, that MAYBE, just MAYBE we shareholders should be able to, with some level of certainty, believe that an all encompasing statement such as follows, presented with their approval, could be taken with any degree of certainty as to the outcome of their findings, and subsiquently, in this case, i.e. the outcome of the Virgin infringement case with NeoMedia?...
"Partner acknowledges and agrees that NeoMedia owns all right, title, and interest in the Product, and in all of NeoMedia's patents, trademarks, trade names, inventions, copyrights, know-how, and trade secrets relating to the design, manufacture, operation or service of the Product."
