geog,
What do you think will happen with those 8 patents from Beth.
It is useless to speculate at this time. The same level of anticipation accompanied the Biofrontera acquisition. Until the R/S has been approved and DNAP actually has funds to begin payments to Beth Israel, there are NO patents.
Also, If you were Tony or Gabe what direction would you persue?
I would have pursued the obvious partnerships with the companies that have the valuable data that DNAP needs for their platform. People seldom realize that the platform requires input in the form of DNA samples from populations sorted by their reactions to drugs. The data is the hard part, the platform can be duplicated in many other ways. DNAP is missing the boat by not trying to partner with the drug company data owners.
And, As an R/D Co. what do think of the advancement's towards incurring distributors for our forensic and ancestry kit's?
DNAP stopped being specifically an R&D company for when they started distributing Ancestry a couple of years ago. The distribution effort has been quite half-hearted since then. It now appears to be gaining some traction.
To close; I am convinced this Co. is not far from their objectives. You tend to recite the past as if you can't look forward. Not trying to be rude just observant.
The facts of the past are all we have to discuss at the present. The future is speculation. Remember it was you who touted the value of history in predicting the future.
