Pulled this from ymb, would like to get some valuable opinions on the reasoning, could it just be they are going with a different name?

no clue but im sure the tinfoil hats on YMB will lead down the path of this being a great indication of a buyout. Maybe its already covered under a different patent? Who knows, doubt it means anything like 90% of the stuff brought up there.

Who knows, doubt it means anything like 90% of the stuff brought up there. This is big news: I think it will no longer be called the cricket but will henceforth be called the Gecko. Why Gecko? Because they are much more friendly then pesky crickets and 'it's so obvious' that it doesn't even need further explanation. You know what that means right? Where do you see geckos on TV? Adds for insurance companies... Who owns these insurance companies? Yes Buffet! So it should now be obvious there will be a 1 for 1 swap of Berkshire shares for Mannkind shares! Even YMB couldn't come up with that kind of 'news' I'm certain... |

I suspect they have a new formulation of a proprietary cannabis combined with TS and they needed a catchy name for the inhaler. It will now be known as the "grasshopper". Get it!? grass (cannabis) hopper (holder, container, etc). OK. I know all you brilliant ones will catch why I explained it. Right!?

other.. what does that mean to dummies like me?
Does that me MNKD abandoned because a buyout is in the works? so why file? I've always believed a BO would be at least 18 months -24 months away if even that soon.. what's your take on that? Volume doesn't indicate something like a BO is behind this? |

I just went through a trademark renewal. You have to show that it is an actively used trademark. I'm not sure of the ins and outs of whether you can maintain a trademark, such as "cricket", indefinitely if it isn't actually being sold. Maybe highlighting it on a website is enough to be considered active, but maybe it isn't. If the registration falls dead for that reason it wouldn't necessarily mean they wouldn't file again later with the same name.
And as for that Gecko suggestion... pish-posh, they are all show and no substance... flashy TV playboy types. How about Chameleon?

When I heard five weeks ago that Sanofi wanted to change the name of the inhaler, I thought they were referring to the "DreamBoat" and not the Cricket. I would suggest a naming contest, but with the French coming up with a name like Toujeo, who could possibly guess the name they'll use for the inhaler?
Although I have to admit that the name Caméléon has a certain ring to it, n'est pas?
