No, it's a simple matter of delegating.. The shares are currently (not for long) worth .017. The patents are worth nothing. No one will buy them ever since they were created (except of course digi-phony-ca and Vplm). Not even license.. That is the true and undeniable test of value, ie, whether or not a product on the market, in this case, for many years...can sell OR NOT. VPLM is a definite OR NOT! The fact o matter is Vplm sells shares not patents. They couldn't sell a patent to a shoe leather company... Vplm is in the shares business and always has been. The patents, incl 573 ipr wins are nothing more than a story, a front to bounce off. Do you want to buy any Vplm patents?? Shareholders own shares not patents.
