Black light powers Randell Mills is very smart he went around the US
patent embargo by filing in Australia. Aussy's will rule the global;
energy market. Now if I could only convince a few other Aussys,
including the PM that Its real.

These independent JVCs will invest the capital and time to develop
commercial applications of the BlackLight Process. New patented
technologies
resulting from development of commercial products or processes by the JVC
will be the property of the JVC. New patented technologies developed by
BlackLight after the purchase of a license will be added to the original
license. The license agreements will be offered for an annual maintenance
fee and a minority equity position in the licensed, JVC. Companies with
relevant capabilities or interest in developing new products or
valuable new
patented technology will require a license and are encouraged to
contact us.

Mike..thoughtful comments.
Black Light Power has put a viable " package " together and
sustained it for some 15 years which is saying something for an
enterprise principally in the business of selling ideas to investors.
Over that same period of time (15 years) ,one small manufacturing
company I know of, designed and built a series of technically
sophisicated products with the beginning capital derived from the
monthly charitable gift awarded social security retirees. From that
base , as the venture grew, the research budget rose to a paltry 350k
per year ( 30,000 per month). This tiny company now leads in their
market category and has obsoleted an entire segment of the existing
methodology in it's industry category dominated by two large world
renowned corporations.. The company is privately owned and never once
operated in the red. This tiny company holds no patents, has no
intellectual property and has no protection from another company that
may wish to"copy" the product designs. The thinking being that a
patent is an invitation to a lawsuit. A trademark and a copyright
holds more weight. The secret is in the "name" and not in the patented
product.
I once knew a guy with a wonderful idea of raising bullfrogs in a
pond under a natural gas flare. The business model demonstrated a frog
lays umteen millions eggs, from that the math get fuzzy but the gist
is that one can harvest a million frog legs a month at a dollar a
dozen. He tried to liscense the idea to me on a royalty base plus
cash. When asked why he didn't take the idea and run with it for that
kind of profit, his reply was that he was too busy with his job at the
carwash.
The business plan of BLP is an interesting study of the corresponding
and divergent views of different business models. I wish them success
because ,if they have the product they represent as having ,the world
is going to steal them blind by their using the marketing approach
they have embarked upon.
