greg - common misperception - a patent is never a shield - it is an inexpensive weapon that uses a million dollar bullet. In general, a small company cannot use this weapon effectively. For a small company it is often best to work the market harder and better than others to survive.

My comments do not imply that WAVX is in this category. Its simply to point out that you hold some misperceptions about the role of patents in business.

greg, precisely: "The smaller the firm, the more important defensible IP becomes." -- w/o defensible IP, the IBMs of the digital world will not give away ongoing revenue streams just because a co. puts forth well-informed, intelligent material and proof-of-concept prototypes.

Don't get me wrong, the Dell and Intel's offerings of Wave software is encouraging... but, as SKS has acknowledged, it's transactional revenues that offer significant revenue opportunities and, to date, there's been no contract-based explanation of how Wave will collect transactional revenues
