I don't see anything in the latest 10Q re B&O (nor in the previous one for that matter). However, here's what the license agreement for the 9/15/03 release of the Beosound 2 firmware says:

BANG & OLUFSEN TERMS OF USE

Use of Bang & Olufsen BeoSound 2 requires that you accept the terms of this End User License Agreement. Continuing to download the software constitutes an implicit acceptance of the terms of the Agreement. Neither purchase of BeoSound 2 nor acceptance of the terms of the Agreement permit you to use any Name, Logo or Trademark used or registered by Bang & Olufsen.

Unless we sold our MOS patent to B&O, I suspect that they are still paying us royalties.

It must be hard for you to admit you have a poor memory.

For your sake (and ours) I hope it improves.


The fact that a small revenue stream is not mentioned in the 10-Q but is in the 10-K is normal.

The fact that you use it to claim e.Digital no longer gets revenue from B and O is poor DD (or bashing)

Didn't you just yesterday finish responses to your DD telling us that Gateway is not using e.Digital?

Still want to claim that?
