It's my guess that LFB might have had some major patent issues without a collaboration with GTCB. I see GTCB climbing the revenue chain with higher 'royalties' in this deal. I agree with others that the price was a little steep for GTCB shareholders. Hopefully this deal bears a lot of fruit down the road.
>Some points about LFB I feel have been glossed over. First of all it is state owned. Since a good deal of GTCB's future could be brightened by a more enlightened approach by the regulators, this kind of political connection cannot possibly hurt us.<
