I’ve had similar thoughts. Are they working to sell the company rather than generating actual sales. Long term product sales contracts or technology transfer arrangements to multiple competitors would be counter intuitive to a sell-side process to a single entity that wants the whole pie to themself.

Highly doubt that scenario. Logic, price and volume action, lack of news or rumors, suggests nothing is happening in that space. LWLG will be acquired for its patent portfolio - that much I am sure of - but it will be at fire sale prices once the cash runs low and commercialization is still an unreachable goal. There is nothing, factually speaking, currently to suggest an alternative outcome.

Being in my late 80s, I wouldn’t mind a buyout, but it may be more difficult than we think if governments think there is too much concentration of economic power.

From the WSJ-

Big Tech Has a Big Cash Problem
Any acquisitions companies such as Apple, Amazon or Microsoft attempt will bring scrutiny and delays

“That is an awful lot of capital to have to put to work. And doing so effectively has become an even bigger challenge over the past couple of years, as regulators in the U.S. and around the world have zeroed in on Big Tech, with the determination to keep it from getting bigger.

Amazon, Adobe and Intel have had to spike acquisition attempts over the past year because of resistance from global regulators. And the deals that do get through are taking longer and require costly lobbying efforts. Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision Blizzard took nearly two full years to close. Its next largest deal—the 2016 acquisition of LinkedIn—took a little under six months.”
