Seems to me like half of this would be about patent rights and, in theory, Riso will want to keep their income stream from that maximized anyway so they should be open to a licencing deal. C'mon, Sam! You say you want to show us your get up and go, that you want to help us lead the world of art and design. Fine; have your team work with the relevant schools (with the IPRC's advice) and get cracking!
