Look chaps surely we are playing with words here . It appears that there has been a withdrawal from ADR so one or both parties has elected to go to trial. That is fact. I bring AVX into the debate because they have stopped paying and this appears to be connected . Look like everybody else I want CPX to win but I think we all agree enforcement of our IP is proving far more complicated than many of us first thought . I merely comment on the possible scenarios having seen "now is our time" moments come and go

I don't need to provide any links . I am simply speculating on what we know. Those facts are that Maxwell are electing to go to trial so must believe they have a case . We know also that some ago AVX stopped paying and I recall reading some correspondence between the two, so I speculate that the two cases are connected . As such we know that a decision will be made in Oct . We dont know the strengths of the two cases. That is for the experts. I merely ask what happens if we lose ie does AVX have a case to claim back monies already paid . This has moved on way past the original claims that CPX had world class watertight IP .

If there was any acceptance of guilt one would have thought that a deal could been negotiated before trial. As it seems AVX has also stopped paying presumably because of the same concerns then there must be some sort of major dispute. Also If we loose will AVX then be claiming back the many millions they have already paid. Squeaky bum time me thinks

Looks like we are going to be part of the 3-5% then JH...so no it doesn't help

Does anybody have any idea of how long a patent trial might last and how quickly the judge might take to deliver their verdict? Also is there any appeal process ? Could yet be Christmas before we hear anything

So all we need is WW 3 to stop the inevitable march of CPX to profit . Hmm

As I understand it in plain English one or both parties have been unable to find a solution via ADR viz the alternative to a trial. This means it will go to the wire in October and will be winner takes all. That's fine if we win but what will be the effect if we lose? Come what may nothing concrete will be decided for the next 6 months . Meanwhile the side show will be how well we are doing on producing things to sell at a profit. My new car is due in Oct so lets hope CPX pays for it. I deserve it for hanging on to this share for so long

So its all hype and speculation. I suspect Maxwell will drag this out (is there any sort of appeal process) beyond Oct . At this rate I shall be 80 before I even know what the result is. No quick fix here . But recent surge gets me nearer break even

Nothing would give me greater joy JH, But please remember facts are by definition true, so the "facts" as stated are still nothing but speculation . So people can speculate all they want but when push comes to shove "turnover is vanity profit is sanity", After years of failed promises please allow me my cautionary approach to the latest speculation . As well as that there are still many external happenings which my yet affect us but yes the stars may be aligning !!

Only if we win and they pay up !!

Just proves what a nonsense the rumour is . Having come this far I cant see them acceding before the trial date

If there were any truth in this rumour well the SP would not be at 5p . To date there has not even been a wobble just minor ups and downs

yes. James Hinvestski has a certain ring about it ??

I have to say Private you got the Oct right but forgot to state the year .. 2035 ? ... sense of humour old boy

This wont move until Oct

Absolutely MikeCC . Marketing is quite simple . Its all about making products that people want to buy at an agreed price. The problem is that in the past CPX have made wonderful products but with no real customers to sell them to

Ducem , Cpx has failed to make a profit in any year since its founding. In the early days wonder products were talked up but seldom turned into real money. Also the issue of world class IP was high up the agenda . Observers will say that CPX has to defend its IP but licensing as revenue stream has not been what shall I say "significant". We then went through the debacle of Ioxus and now we seem to have all our eggs in one basket with Maxwell (and a dispute with AVX). How that will turn out and what effect it will have (if we lose) I dont have a clue. Having said that most observers now agree that product sales is the way forward to profit. I have to agree as licensing revenue seems "less certain". All IMHO

Tell me Ducem if you were a football manager would you concentrate on improving your weaknesses rather than retaining your strengths. Most I suggest would do the former and I feel the same about CPX ie the strengths will take care of themselves so you improve/critique the underperforming bits . Saying that doesn't make me negative. For those who expound the virtues of the positives are to me they are living in cloud cuckoo land as success is about the whole package . Same with personal appraisals ie they are mainly about developing your weaknesses. Still we all have our own views

Sadly no but did you notice they mentioned me by name . I bet that jarred off poor old Wobble. My impressions (as a mere punter) was that most of the accountancy speak went in one ear and out the other. Ultimately investor decisions are based on whether they trust what they hear. To me its all about profit. The sales blurb sounded encouraging whereas the IP side of things were less than encouraging (cant get much worse than nil revenue) but now we know we wont hear anything about Maxwell until Oct. Whether that is the end of the beginning or the beginning of the end I dont have a clue. Everything is down to confidence but now there are external forces at play ie Ukraine , WW 3 , Climate Change . I suggest that many people in such circumstances are withdrawing from speculative stock markets. So where does that leave us. Well the SP is ultimately the only measure . So the question everyone must ask themselves is how confident and trusting are you . IMHO CPX is a gamble and as each day passes it becomes more of a gamble. What the future hold ..who knows . I remain invested.

As I say there is always something with CPX . Firstly nobody thought that Ioxus could go bust and avoid any award. Surely there could have been a way of freezing any assets. My first wife did !! Now they have moved into a new factory which might be flooded . Lets hope Seven Hills is on a blxxxdy high hill. Down now to 4.5p . Still Covid figures re right down . Be there tomorrow.
