The patents would either be with Stanelco RF Technologies or Biotec. I've only managed to find one patent listed under Adept Polymers and that was for an extrusion process.
Anyway, its a no-brainer, Starpol is key to SEO's success so if Adept is necessary for Starpol development they would retain it, else get rid at the right price.

There appears to be a bit of a scramble to get stuff through the European Patent Office, there were 4 items in 2006, there are already 7 so far this year; there does not appear to be anything new but what does stands out is that most of it seems to be connected with Greenseal technology.

My thoughts re Adept - as if anyone is interested.
I got over my conceit years ago when I achieved perfection !
'New SEO' has demonstrated admirably they are not issuing RNSs on any frivolity or ramping opportunity, but only when obliged by Regulations. Frustrating though this may be when compared with the old sacked management and owners, I am happy that the new Board has done nothing wrong (YET) to lessen my trust in them and what they said they are doing.
Todays AFX 'announcement' is essentially no more than an independant reporting of a rumour seen in another news form. There has (so far) been no confirmation or denial from Adept or its owners which could indicate there is no substance to the rumour - or just be in line with 'New SEO's' policy of saying as little as necessary.
In the absence of an update from the Board since the EGM we must assume they are getting on with things as planned (their plan that is, not the previous Board's). This being so, if there is an approach to acquire Adept it could be a hinderance as it will occupy management time and energy.
Some pundits on other BBs are jumping up and down saying SEO needs the money despite what was in the Prospectus last October. That said the raising of 11million would be sufficient "for at least 12 months". As it happened, they raised 15million - over a third more. So how do these folks think we are short after just 4 months?
Although many on BBs continue to expect BIG NEWS of McDs, C-C, and WM I do not -not yet anyway. Not because they are not a possibility (I believe strongly that they are) but because corporations of their size, success and standing do not change their tried, tested and successful products and presentation in a few months, or if they do they do it quietly and subtly in case it goes wrong and backfires on them. I am however aware SEO products are already being bought by smaller users and that means those work and are producing revenues.
I prefer to consider the last known publicly stated facts (ie what is in the Prospectus - for which the authors are fully responsible at Law) and wait for their update, which has been promised for 2 weeks on Wednesday.

Agree good post from tonyrelaxes. But note the emphasis in the AFX on R/F technology. This implies to me that Greenseal is central to strategy; Starpol may be the main moneyspinner but was acquired primarily to give gearing to Greenseal. The sale of ADEPT implies confidence in the strategy adopted. As Tony says, may not have come to noticable fruition by prelims but I think the noises made will be positive and, more importantly, clearly reliable.

Eric.
What sale of Adept?
I accept there is seldom smoke without fire, but there has been nothing to suggest Adept is up for sale or that such a sale fits in with the strategy.
Any AFX is just press reporting on speculation elsewhere. It is not a "Statement" from any party to a deal under negotiation and agreement.
What todays AFX says is there is a rumour elsewhere that someone wants to buy Adept.
It needs a willing, or distressed, seller for this to happen.
Have we got this?
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
It is also said in my local that I want 2 Porsches [one for the lovely M ;-) ] as well as an R1200GS Adventure alongside them in the garage in a villa in the Massive des Maures. But there is nothing in that rumour to suggest anyone is willing accept any offer I am realistically capable of making right now - if those were indeed up for sale - and my wishes. Who knows?
(But they are ! And maybe, just maybe, SEO and CHP together will do it for me. Both SPs were up today as well as last week. No mean achievement. Looking good.)

Tony,
I agree, good post.
You have persuaded me to be more patient.
Q (In your dark and murky past, were you a second hand car salesman, or even worse, a Bank Manager?).

Morning greek,please do not associate 2nd hand car dealers with bank managers...........the latter are far more cunning!! I should know..............i was a 2nd hand car salesman and often needed the assistance of the "bank Manager"!!............. and still do! cheers.

Surely the bestter news is that some American Co wants to buy SEO's technology...it's a pity that SEO-Execs are incapable of getting orders for the products, rather than an outright sale.
You have to smile - and the sp has haardly moved - oh dear! Does this mean SEO will sell their IP at fire-sale prices.........oh dear, oh dear.

This Exhibition - I hope the SEO stand is well stocked with strong coffee and maybe a fruit-juice or two- it would be too much to let them get too merry, looking at the sp, we investors have been staring at.
Grr!

There will be plenty of coffee and tea thats what SEO have been doing for the past three years theres not much else to do, they should be out there getting orders.
What do they do when they arrive for work every day, sleep.

You are really being most unfair to the new Management of Stanelco.
They are working extremely hard and the results of such hard work are bearing fruit.
If running a business was so easy - everyone would be doing it.
Wait for the 21st and then you will all have something to think about!!

pinnacle, what tosh, "They are working extremely hard and the results of such hard work are bearing fruit."
Like what??
I am not having a dig but surely if such hard work was bearing any fruit then they would have to tell the man from Del Monte?

I wonder if I will hear anything from you doubters after the 21st March?
You will not get me to reveal what I know - it's up to you to do your own research.
If you did - and if you had any commercial knowledge then you would see for yourself that the future is very good indeed.
It's your loss if you prefer to take no notice - I really do not care what others think of my post - I sometimes wonder why I bother!!!
I will therefore keep quiet until the 21st March - when everything will be revealed.
