Unfortunately, at the moment, since all patents are pledged to Annon, Bion can not transfer or leveraged any of them until the Annon case is settled.

Peafunke you and I are spiritually aligned, its really a function of semantics. While you see the idea as possessing value I am simply saying its is the application of the idea translating into cash flow that creates quantifiable value and therefore garners investment, EBITDA is a generally recognized vehicle in which one can quantify value. In your example folks bought ideas during the dot com bubble, I would suggest it was an EBITDA multiple they calculated from a business plan and invested in. Granted the business plans were flawed in the 90's and that very well (hopefully not) could be the case with BION.


For what it is worth from a stranger on a blog I can tell you from deep experience participating in acquisitions as well as divestures that companies aren't bought or sold on anything but math, sure there are attributes such as IP, market share, locality, etc. but all of that translates to ROI and the degree of risk the investor is willing to take.
