I will try to explain what I meant by, "They lost a significant portion... but in reality they lost nothing". I should have said for more clarity: "They lost a significant portion... but in reality they lost nothing *of real value*".

Before Magpower potential sales generated by the patented carousel motor accrued to Galtech in total. After Magpower potential sales accrue by % of sales as designated per the terms of Galtech/Magower agreement. Literally "they lost a significant portion" by giving up a portion of sales to Magpower. However, in reality, they "lost nothing" because the motor was in disrepair and it had a slim to none chance of being restored by Galtech as I detailed in prior posts. The reality of the situation is that Ewing, the original inventor of the carousel and chief engineer at Magpower, has a chance to make the carousel a success. With Magpower there is a greater chance for Galtech to cash in on the carousel technology.

I understand your contention that nobody owns the patent. I assume that Magpower hired a lawyer to search the patent. It would be gross negligence for a lawyer to not question why Galtech was not the assignee on the patent. I further assume that the lawyer did question entitlement and that he/she found that Galtech was the rightful owner of the patent.
