Well no one can say that you are not going out on a limb.  From what little I have heard, we might get patent approval this year, so we will be able to see if your prediction comes to fruition

Patents are simply patents until a product can be commercialized, or the company actually takes steps towards commercialization. A patent doesn't even mean it would be approved by the FDA (Lr will get approved, but in principle, until approved by FDA, it means very little). We can't even agree on what will be required of the new formulation to get it commercially ready. It could take 5 years. It could take 18 months. We don't know. My belief is that just granting the patent will be a non-event for the stock. Maybe a few dollars or something, but nothing very meaningful.
