Mark’s self-defined “second wave” of glasses-free flat screen 3D usage paradigm has just begun in his mind and won’t be over till it’s over. His experience and expertise in start-up companies, especially the display industry are a perfect complement to 3DIcon (paraphrasing his own words). He’s motivated by our proprietary tech and has a plan for it – and us.
I believe Mark cut a deal with the company that has second wave intellectual property as compelling as our own. He will either buy the company or its assets or license its IP exclusively, depending on the outcomes of discussions with potential partners and potential downstream customers. Potential partner talks will end any day and potential downstream customer talks will end around mid-June.
I also believe that Mark gained leverage with the owners of the best flat screen 3D technology by showcasing the EVTB and the innovations of Lab Proto 2. Something very positive can be gained in marketing the best second wave wares morphing into third wave 3D volumetric products in the near future.
So, will we buy the company and assets or license its IP? It doesn’t make any difference, the deal’s cut and waiting. Either way, we become the corporate company with our partner(s) agreeing to productize our intellectual properties, both second and third wave.
Next – the potential “downstream” customer’s evaluation.
Sue Childs and crew will have set through the development discussions with the potential partners and know the possibilities, expectations and strategies set. She then will have to evaluate these strategies of how our product will influence the attitudes of targeted buyers' and their perception of our proposed second wave wares and report her findings to Mark.
If Mark’s strategies and market timing are proven sound, the Board has no choice but to give his recommendations the green light. And we’ll know that decision around Sid’s anniversary.
