Well said ! I thought there may be a buyout or something years ago. Once a company has a competitive product or is threatening in terms of sales for a mainstream product in regard commercial revenue I thought a buyout was an obvious result ?
I liked your comment "never getting the prize but always asked to enter the competion." Aint that the truth !

I reckon Adder is correct also with concern relating to TRL status but it doesnt prevent a major co making a buyout offer ?
