announcement from 2008

announcement from 29/10/2008 points to the fact that it was 3M who was the FMCG company that paid the $345,000.00 to do the tests.
If that is correct and it appears to me to be likely it shows that there was a test,from that a further test and the further test agreement paved the way for future collaboration and licensing.
So it appears the licensing agreement has been struck as to its terms.

the evaluation occurring now would appear to be the last step in 3M deciding what to do and if it moves to licensing then the terms are already set.
So providing the evaluation is good we should see a product on the shelves soon.
that is what i read from that announcement.maybe wrong but seems logical.
