Any OTC company like GEAR, can claim to be a part of something that has the world's attention. It's what they do.
What they don't do, is succeed in bringing anything to market.
As I stated, what reputable company that has a working model for this technology would go to Clifford Pope, of all people, when there are so many other far more reputable business people/companies with far fewer failures (if any) behind them?
I know I wouldn't.
