It's not so hard to prove wilful infringement in the right case. IMO night follows day in ths case. Samsung pins all its hopes on a different interpretation of the relevant patents . It was of course perfectly aware that it was using tech for the synthesis of QD. It merely hoped to get away with it and to exploit an opportunity to cast a different meaning on Nanoco's patents, and to do a deal if it can whilst dragging out the litigation, which no doubt it may have hoped to avoid totally. But if it loses the trial it does not have a logical way to avoid punitive damages IMO.

My only word of caution - Markman is not a mini trial. Primarily its for judge to assess the case and to decide on need for witness evidence as to meaning of relevant patent terms. I'd guess that sort of evidence is required in a case like this as it involves use of such novel tech.

They are replacing it ......... with salt.

What you have got to remember is that if the dishonest Samsung Directors were focussed only on personal short term enrichment then they would always choose to take and use IP without paying for it over paying for it because this would lead to much greater short term Samsung company profits and Director rewards. Their actions have been found wanting and this may affect Samsung's brand and share price in the longer term, and it gives me confidence that Samsung is just in "damages" limitation mode now with all these legal cases. It certainly has a poor appreciation of, and/or a complete disregard for, patent law.

I don't think anyone will be swayed by such poorly articulated thoughts as scampthedog who clearly has no experience of the legal industry and the business of TP litigation funding, let along patent infringement cases. Take it from me - these guys are successful in their field of business, they use sophisticated risk analysis models and they do not waste their valuable TIME and money running a 4 year dead duck of a case. IMO the prospects of success here are outstanding

Camkite - you are probably right - the City money will find a nice entry point. I am being conservative. It's a very large market for a superb product so I have high hopes that TEK will rise fast on this news

Zmar90 - so TEK could be holding around 30% of the shares, worth approx. £17m at float.
Current market cap of TEK = £13m

Never had my doubts, said Pinocchio !!

I can see this has been beset by a plethora of planning delays but I know nothing of the story to date. It looks bombed out and maybe due a rise. In short what has gone wrong and what is the bull and bear case here now.? (And is Lenigas still involved?). Right, flak jacket on....

Right or wrong SnipVW's comments are perfectly understandable - there has been a lot of noise around this company , all of it way overblown

I have addressed that point before. Once a verdict is given, allowing the claim, one will be left to judge the appeal prospects from the advantageous position a share price will be sky high. I might choose to top slice at that point.

Hansol....

I agree but also think the window opened up around H2 / Q4 2020 when the key market factors started lining up. More likely now than at any time within the last 10 yrs, but I don't think that means a deal cannot or wont happen if it is not done and dusted in 2021.

The only sensible strategy is to buy the dips. I always take a long term investment view anyway, so it's ok with me. I really rate the chances of success here but what makes it a blindingly good "bet" in my view is that there is a clear timetable, towards a final conclusion which many other speculative investment plays do not have. In discount the risk of delay from higher court appeals simply because this would be against the backdrop of a judgment for damages in Nanoco's favour and the share price will be pricing that in as the starting point before the investment game begins afresh.

And here is the inside industry view on why: News release 25 February 2021

Legal consultant business model predicted to dominate high street

The legal consultant business model, operated by the likes of Keystone Law, Gunnercooke and Taylor Rose, will become the dominant model among high street and mid-market law firms. According to mid-market investment bank Arden, the Covid-19 pandemic has acted as a “catalyst” for industry disruption, exposing the “poor management and outdated operating models of many law firms”. It estimated that a third of all UK lawyers could be working under the legal consultant banner in five years' time. Arden said: “With a significant unrealised market opportunity, an ever-increasing market share and an attractive and cost-effective recruitment proposition, it is easy to see why the consultancy model makes such a strong investment case.”

That's an old tie up actually.

Oh yes i see, i was taking your comment literally. There is ultimately no guaranteee but personally I think there is one reason only for the current valuation and that is 'opportunity cost'. The question the market is asking is 'how long will we have to wait?' The money will flood back here when things get closer.

Fair point, it's true, and we've had a decent rise. I'll probably wait for any news on the development agreement before taking any out though.

I view that as excellent news. I always try to have spare cash handy, ready to exploit those moments.

Sorry ignore me, you said already- it was the Appollon website.

How does RT work? Appollon is being valued at $40m and existing Directors will retain a % of that via the new company shell, whilst AfriAg shareholders get the rest? The key is then how much the market values the business on Day 1 of trading. Let's say existing Appollon D's keep 25% ($10m), so we all share the rest (pro rata? Same thing as valuing Afri Ag at $30m before RT. This might not make any sense. Hoping someone can school me in RT's!

Really? What's the source of that please. If that's right i can well understand the $40m Appollon valuation.
