Eska - Thank you for your insight.
"It is likely easier and cheaper for them to let other companies do the legwork of initial production and commercialization, carrying the risk of failure on their back, then buy them out when they have achieved guaranteed success rather than throw a bunch of money at research that may end up being a dead end."

There are commercial production and supply chain benchmarks that KBLB needs to meet before any buyout proposal is proposed by any of the obvious buyers (DD, BASF, ????,Others). Your business IQ on this issue is spot on - IMO. Once those proof of concept benchmarks are proven to the satisfaction of the potential acquirer's, a significant premium for KBLB shares will be offered to include the value of IP created since 2010. Could 2015 be it ? IMO we may be closer than we know. Rest assured that the large caps are watching every move KBLB makes.
