Perfect, you're free to disagree, however, you are misinterpreting my statement. I never said anything about releasing names of possible suitors..

What I said was that I don't think the fashion in which the "behind the scenes discussions" were revealed, was appropriately handled. If you're running a company that truly has acquisition interest in the works, then you don't set shareholders up with false expectations. "In talks", "possible", and "pending" are big what-if statements, and they aren't newsworthy other than firing up the rumor mill.

To reiterate, I sincerely believe that the patent, once secured, will be quite valuable. I hope it goes that direction. But on the side of the equation company's that are truly being courted for acquisition and partnerships don't generally tout the rumors in the form of news releases. When they're legitimate you simply wake up one day to the news release that the company has been acquired, end of story.

If you want to continually reassure yourself by coming up with various reasons as to why the news release was in fact, a positive for the company, then that is your right as well. I for one look at any investment from all angles, not just the one that I "hope" is the case.
