should we not look at this pile of horse **** from early dec to see who basis their “analysis” pmsl on facts ??
“the commercial reality for shoei is now dire, irrespective of the legal technicalities.
their investment in nanosys has been filleted by two external events:
1. the eu cadmium ban: this destroys the legacy, high-cadmium market that likely formed the core of the business they acquired. it forces a total, urgent pivot to cfqds—the very market where they have no legal certainty.
2. the lg settlement: this is catastrophic. their marquee customer has publicly paid $5m to the patent holder because of shoei's supply. this brands shoei's entire supply chain as legally toxic. no sensible manufacturer will now place an order without a court-guaranteed "freedom to operate."
shoei is trapped. they can't sell the old product (banned), and they can't sell the new product (feared).
compounding the crisis:
· time is the enemy: nanoco can contest jurisdiction, file motions, and appeal, dragging a "rocket docket" case out for years. shoei's business cannot survive a prolonged freeze.
· financial distress: if shoei borrowed to fund the nanosys acquisition, they now hold a rapidly depreciating asset with crumbling revenue, while facing legal bills and debt service, this could create an existential solvency crisis. who knows, it might even end with nanoco, or its cdx partner owning them, the bod have the relevant expertise in jalal to manage this.
their lawsuit isn't an aggressive move from strength; it's a desperate, funded plea for clarity from a company whose commercial viability has been potentoinally invalidated overnight. the question is no longer whether nanoco's patents are valid. it is how much, and how quickly, shoei will pay to survive a negotiation where nanoco controls the clock and the leverage.”
terry and ai what a dire combination…and he expects folks to think he has a clue!!
