RE:One way or a another by ER December Admit that I'm starting to lean in the direction of BB being played by FB and patent suitors. An uneasy feeling one may acquire just by waiting. Not so much this board's detractors convincing me, I've had that thought ever since I saw the PR that said negotiating definitive agreement. I'd rather see definitive agreement has been reached. SM like an abattoir, kicking a dog when it's down probably the kindest thing that takes place..lol.
Definitive Agreement is a legally binding agreement. Correct me if I'm wrong but once definitive agreement is reached then it would not be BB that issues the initial PR or files the 8-K? Also think there's a time limit to definitive agreement negotiations. I've seen 45 & 90 days but can't assure if it's any of those. By those numbers it should be complete unless there's more. So probably wrong. At least haven't seen negotiations terminated.
Hardly seems fair to have one company tie up negotiations for an extended time, all the while having the vendor's patents lose value, but the word fair is kind of a rarity. I thought there was something built in to prevent that from happening, possibly an extension? Did not Chen say that they're in the midst of the definitive agreement negotiation in late July for patent sale? Then again, have to trust the lawyers know a heII of a lot more than I do and they're doing their best, I think it's easy to fault them when things look like they're going awry. ...JMO.
