several bashers kept claiming that their agreements with UTSW weren't ironclad...and that the lead discoverer of the anti-PS approach, Dr Thorpe, and the University were going to essentially be able to walk away.

i do not believe it has ever been tested legally, but their agreements are essentially boiler plate-comprehensive...

i suppose Attorney Diligence will jump all over that...

Interesting...what was the issue, and was it finally resolved?


Off the top of my head (and somewhat fuzzy).

Supposedly the key patent was issued to the inventor for an invention created while he was working at some other company..

There is nothing to resolve as the assignee is PPHN and the other company never took action for any sort of theft of IP.
