Agree and like the fact that we are now connected to another big player in the space.

"Does this finally provide Clarient with the resources to start marketing the test? "

Glass half empty view (from someone with experience from both sides of the acquisition fence):

For the next few months everyone in Clarient will be ensuring they have the best chance of continued employment, which contrary to what you might fondly imagine, means greasing up internally to all and sundry and playing politics like crazy. The no-hopers will already have given up on any "customer-facing" (to use the horrid lingo of the day) activities, and the really good Clarient guys will be looking for another job already. So anybody involved in the (to them) already tiny HDVY projects now has another focus entirely.

As for the GE folks, who will in the main be the victors and sweep into occupy most of the key Clarient positions, firstly they probably won't find details of the HDVY deals tucked away there in the bottom drawer along with the stale subs and dubious magazines for months to come, and when they do finally stumble across them, they'll simply sigh and say:

"Sheesh, those Clarient guys knew nothing. No wonder we had to come and clear up after them. Now, where's my lunch?"

The other possibility is that HDVY have a "change of control" clause in their (top-secret) agreement and can reclaim the rights to their tests. Whether they would or should choose to do so is a different matter altogether.
