Presumably B.Parfet resigned before was pushed. The rest of management plus those displaced by him could hardly have been happy with either his style or his (non-existent) results. So much for 'definitely within 12 months'.

Patents mean we have paid to protect intellectual property - ostensibly stuff we have that no-one else can use it. How does this square with the increasing feeling here that our space is no longer uniquely occupied by us?
