Yes, I understand that. That was instilled in me when I would not finish my dinner as a youngster.
Let's examine something else. You stated LP will issue her licenses slowly and deliberately, and that was how the veterans do it.
Let's just assume a successful IA already. To me, there is no way I'd issue them deliberately and slowly. I'd say look. This is GBM. It works in GBM. Here Pharma #1, you can license it for that plus all other CNS glioma in U.S., Here # 2, you can license it for that in Europe, Here #3, you can license it for that it Japan/SouthKorea/etc, Here Pharma #4, you can license/study/milestone it for lung, Here pharma #5 pharma, you can license/study/milestone it for Breast.....
I'd not dilly dally in the alley. Patent cliffs eventually strike.
I'd then try this. Monday Morning (some point) announce agreement #1, Monday afternoon announce agreement #2, Tuesday morning, announce agreement #3, Tuesday afternoon, announce agreement #4, etc.
I would not play a very slow deliberate hand on this. Tempus fugit.
