From Frank of ISO!
We have proceeded carefully, in part for that reason, and in part for other reasons such as taking cash out of country and complying with a growing list of local taxes and regulations. We have terminated discussions with others in the past because of these and other related concerns.
Relevant comments:
- being first to market is critical. Someone playing the catchup game is going to be presenting the wrong generation of technology at the wrong time.
- we have a highly efficient model already created. Labor is minimal. That is the primary feature of lower Asian production. We are already enjoying benefits on the materials side. Bottom line - our solutions are inherently less prone to cheap duplication that others.
- naturally we are taking some other protective measures, both legal and otherwise, including deciding which technology to introduce when.
- finally, John Thode brings experience with both international distribution and IP protection on a global stage.
Take care,
Frank
