CRTG.. Every DoDo knows there are time limitations for Patents, but that that patents can be re-issued by the patent holder! Why did NDSU have the authority to make agreements with the CHS? Either they were one of the signators of the Patent, or given the authority to make Business decisions by another party! Evidently CRTG honored the authority of NDSU? An agreement was made, end of story.... and CRTG failed in an effort, a costly one, to commercialize the CHS! Never did CRTG own the Patent rights as far as I know? IMO.
