The vast majority of patents make no money! That is a fact and facts are pesky little things.
Emerson's saying, "build a better mousetrap" surmises the paradox as there are now well over 4,400 mousetrap patents with only 20 that make money! Wait the percentage of selling versus patents (20/4400=.0045%) or about what Cyberlux stock is valued at versus a penny! Is that just a coincidence?
Just because someone registers a patent doesn't mean it is a good idea or there is a market or even has a path to a market. Something Cyberlux has proven.
The business plan was flawed at the beginning and even still is. Think of GEICO's ad about the "bird in hand being worth the two in the bush". What I mean is their plan was to sell product(s) and make a ton of money. It probably would have been better for the original owners to stay private and sell the company's potential if there was any in the patents and get a few million!
