The Mystery of ParkerVision

[spuwho]

I read this when it first happened.

Parker has been funding their legal effort by offering stock in their company to their legal team. This works as long as your legal team has strong level of confidence they will prevail.

What was different for the LG suit is the legal team required Parker directors to put up some of their own cash  as part of the stock/legal services deal.

In typical fashion, PV announced these activities just before their quarterly reports.

Allowing a stock bump on the PR, increasing the value for the legal deal and once the shorts get ahold of it, the stock falls back down to its bottom after yet another "no revenue" announcement.

You can maintain this as long as you have stock to offer and lawyers who think they can win.

If they start losing these suits to Samsung, LG, Apple and others, well, you get the picture.

They have a pretty expensive IP legal team, but there are many IP specialists who value PV's patents as worthless and    just above bogus.

Its a weird situation that will probably end when one of the firms getting sued gets tired of the mosquito biting the ankle and buys them out to make them go away. (Forever)

Well ParkerVision announced a patent cross license agreement with Samsung today.

The stock is soaring today in response.

This pretty much goes against the naysayers who said it was worthless. I guess the IP legal team must be pretty darn good.

Did you happen to be a 'believer' and purchase while the stock was in the doldrums, enjoy a much needed rebound from an earlier purchase or just enjoying the view from the sidelines?   

I ask because you seem to have followed this for quite some time.

I do not own, nor have ever owned any stock, securities or mutual funds with investments in ParkerVision.

While I found some of their earlier work in sideband RF modulation schemes to improve the range of WiFi signals (what they call D2D) pretty interesting, and used to own the actual equipment, I find them a bit odd in how they have managed themselves.

Their long term manipulation of the securities reporting services to gain advantages for their next stock sale is troubling and makes me want to avoid them.

I update here because I live here, I have met PV employees, surprised at their unwavering belief in what they (havent) created. But yet read a great deal of negative material on their work.

Hence the title of the thread "mystery".
