The settlement and the purchase of the IP needs to be seperate, otherwise Diac gets 28% of the patent which he would not get if it is not rolled into the settlement.
Another factor to consider is that there will not be a payout for at least two more years. I believe the law requires that the company stay open that long to allow any creditors to make claims against the company. The receiver will not be able to make final distributions to shareholders until that period is over. I am open to other interpretations of the law, but I am pretty sure that is what it says.
One possibility: a shell. I know of at least one existing corporate shell that could be bought cheap and then used to market the patent and then trade on the market. There are ways for the bold.
Public Shell idea is a good one that I have researched myself. Wouldn't take a lot of money and once complete would immediately bring value and liquidity.
