IMO WHEN THE COURT RULED TO RETURN PATENT's RIGHTS TO HOP-ON LAST YEAR, THE CO HAD IDENTIFIED THE ILEGAL USE OF THE IP. THIS LEAD ME TO THINK THAT THE COMPANY SAW THE NEED TO PROTECT THE IP FROM A TAKEOVER BY THOSE THAT WERE DOING BUSINESS WITH THIS IP. MAYBE THAT'S THE REASON WHY HOP-ON ASSIGNED THE PATENTS TO APOGEE TECHNOLOGY CONSULTANT LLC. FOLKS A LOT OF THING CAN BE TAKING PLACE BEHIND THE SCENES WITH BILLIONS OF $$ INVOLVED. JMO $$$HPNN$$$$
