re <<If you are one of the two parties, you can know>>

... i worked w/ the ericsson team, and not only was ericsson willing, and enthusiastic, but actually eager, and wanted very much to beat out the team from nokia. the jv whole first year sales estimate was achieved in the first week of signing, even before the jv had taken over a ready plant.

re <<Gencor saw a different path>>

... yes, gencor did, the last minute, thinking it could ring-fence china and keep the goods of bio-leaching to itself

its then counter-party, china gold, went on to be the world leader of bio leaching and gencor disappeared via m&a, and the path hit the end of a shorter story.

re <<Everywhere you look, you tend to see "greedy algorithms" at work>>

yeup. btw, i am absolutely and resolutely against IP infringement and theft, because in many ways i am at risk of such. i see much of it all over the world. american ip litigation docket is full.

in the case of gencor i would imagine that some gencor retirees go recruited by primary or intermediary party(ies) and reverse-trojan / hacked gencor bio leach codes, doubtlessly for the greater good numerically-speaking, and somebodies got ripped. difficult to see how tariff adding to frictional cost of trade helps the situation.

what happened in bio leach happened in many other domains, and shall keep happening. one cannot ring-fence know-how, that which is not patented and is in retirees' mind.
