TRUE or FALSE TEST:
..."no legitimate biotech/pharma company has ever expressed an interest in buying, licensing or joint venturing what DNAP has to offer to any significant degree"...
Essay:
Please define >Legitimate<
Please explain >has ever expressed an interest in etc.< (I must have missed the PR reflecting this so I'll have to accept the expressed view as accurate, because of insider knowledge it reflects, as valid.)
Please define >significant degree<
This term has me confused. I find it hard to quantify. Is it Celcius or Kelvin. Perhaps arc seconds?
Possibly by comparing actual results to all possible or potential results (including little green men requiring assistance from DNAP) the phrase significant degree can be put in perspective. Of course and just perhaps when we look back a few posts and see all the items in the pipeline, a reasonable person could infer that the items that could be bought licensed or joint ventured are just of too high a future value to be surrendered lightly by DNAP. Perhaps even when an offer has been made, the potential suitors have been turned away with gentle words to keep the options for DNAP open. Of course I haven't been there to observe these negotiations, so we are fortunate that those who have these delusions of superiority are willing to foam vitriol and postulate doom for our mutual benefits?
Please note the exclusion of anything except biotech pharma.
Why would you want to consider any of the forensic products and the growing market?
Well to be fair, could we wiggle a little and include Beth, Orhid, and maybe just maybe because they do medical related computing, the folks at that software company? Oh well. I always had trouble with these names.
Please keep your answers brief, as I do not intend to grade any replies. Those of you who will pass or fail, have indicated by your work and conduct in class on just which side of the "curb" you will fall.
