As of 2006 there were major law suits against sony and valve just to name a couple because they were infringing upon IENT's patent. Guess who came out the victor? Thats right, IENT. Regardless the value here is in future growth, IE: what Mr. Hammett is bringing to the table, imo the patent means little for our future goals and progressions.
Anyways good luck to you on bidding for shares you will need it.
