My take: from the thread; - MNKD-RLS agreement is that it is for compounds related to inflammation, spasticity, pain, and nervous system disorders. - Andrea Leone-Bay Chief Scientific Officer at Receptor Life Sciences
-IC 005. US 006 018 044 046 051 052. G & S: pharmaceutical preparations for human use; inhalers sold pre-filled with pharmaceutical preparations; plant extracts for pharmaceutical purposes
IC 042. US 100 101. G & S: scientific and medical research relating to the diagnosis and treatment of medical conditions; scientific and medical research relating to plant extracts for pharmaceutical purposes
IC 044. US 100 101. G & S: providing a website featuring information relating to the diagnosis and treatment of medical conditions

" We can confirm that the company is funded by an important investor group, supported
by prominent business leaders in the Seattle area"
-Thank you for your interest in Receptor Life Sciences. We are pleased to be partnering with MannKind to deliver inhaled therapeutics utilizing their innovative platform. Our work is proceeding rapidly and we will look forward to sharing more exciting news with you as our activities become public.
Thank you again,
The Receptor Team
added: my words, in this dog eat dog world, this seems like a business opportunity whose time has come.
You have pretty-well summed up what we know, from a pure fact point of view. Additional information is that the current set of executives are all lawyers from Lane Powell, a 125+ year old law firm based in Seattle and elsewhere. Matt had said that the name "Receptor Life Sciences" is new, but the company has been around for a while. --- I don't consider myself much of a speculator, which is almost all that can be done at this point. I am way more interested in this from the detective point of view, whereby facts are gathered and a picture is painted to reveal the maximum extent of the public knowledge about the company. Matt had previously stated that Andrea Leone-Bay had been let go as part of the restructuring of MannKind around the time of Hakan's resignation. He said it speaks volumes about the quality of RLS that they were able to recruit such a world-class expert such as Dr. Leone-Bay. It is the most logical case that she was hired because of her expertise in formulating drugs around the Technosphere delivery system. I seem to recall Matt saying that the TS platform was just one of the potential pathways RLS was exploring, though I cannot be certain that this memory is real. As for the Seattle backers, there is no real information on who they are. It is definitely an investor group, not a single individual. They are working through Lane Powell to set up the enterprise. I think the most revealing information so far comes from the details in the trademark, which you post. RLS wants to manufacture pre-filled inhalers (~Crickets) that are preloaded with proprietary plant extracts. ("proprietary" taken from the MannKind FAQ on the RLS agreement). They seem to be covering their bases with regard to not only delivering the extract, but researching the diagnosis and treatment of the specific conditions. This sounds like they are coming at the existing problems from a new standpoint. RLS has a pharmaceutical portfolio, and not just a single product. MannKind is on track to earn the first milestone this year, which is for an unknown amount. --- I am dismissive of any rumors or theories that directly contradict any of these facts. That is why I disregarded the TerSera idea. In the press release they mention that the company was formed in Feb 2016. I found the connection to Fiorentino's previous endeavor, Crealta Pharmaceuticals, far more in line with what we know about RLS' areas of interest -- CNS and arthritis. They were recently sold to Horizon Pharmaceuticals, though. If we are speculating within the known facts, then the idea that RLS is working on commercializing a cannabis extract seems to fit the bill as much as anything. CBD can aid in all of the ailments we know RLS is interested in -- chronic pain, spasticity, inflammation. CBD is an antogonist to receptor agonists. TS is valuable to RLS because it allows for the "immediate delivery of a consistent and precise dosage of the prescribed amount of an active therapeutic compound, while reducing unwanted side effects." (MNKD-RLS FAQ) Though not unique by any means, this certainly fits within the existing problems known with medical marijuana; the challenge of consistent and accurate dosages; limiting psychotropic effects due to THC. Medical marijuana use and research is legal within Washington State. My end take-away is that we (MNKD) have an agreement with a frankly mysterious company that highly values it's secrecy. We have the ability to make some cash up front this year, but as Matt said the real money comes from the royalties. Our former director of pharma discovery is now the chief scientific officer at this company. When RLS wants to be known, they will be. What did Q mean, April Fools? Was he talking about you? Just wondering. Anyway, are you a Radiologists? XRAY tech? Just wondering. |

all is well patten, no worries, our only worry is having this thread locked for off topic. 
A tightly run ship, does not sink?
Thank you Cathode! I place a high value on the work you do and your point of view. Thank you.

Loved Q! Who also did a memorable guest role over several episodes on Breaking Bad as Jessie's Girlfriend's dad. (The GF that choked on her own vomit as Walt watches debating on helping her...as unforgettable a scene on TV as i've ever seen) |

Hi everyone, this is my first post here, although I've been following this forum and investing in MNKD for about 2 years. I recently came across a thread on Reddit of a conspiracy-theory-esque theory of who may be backing RLS:
https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/comments/4ayeza/part_ii_mnkd_down_the_rabbit_hole_conspiracy/
First, I apologize in advance if I'm breaking any forum rules by posting the link here or if this has already been posted before. As it's from Reddit, you can anticipate language that's rated NC-17, but the content is intriguing and may or may not be of interest.
I'd be interested in your thoughts on this Reddit user's theory of RLS. On one hand, there's some interesting connections (that have been eluded to before on this very thread). On the other hand, I imagine biotech is a small world, just like every other field is, and inevitably there will be associations amongst individuals.

MNKD patents, quite a few of them are for vaccine applications. The Gates Foundation goals and technosphere seem to be a marriage made in heaven. |

I always thought it was Google but would be very happy if that was correct! I will let the secret out. Its Prince Mohammed bin Salman behind RLS with his 2 trillion $ fund www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-04-01/saudi-arabia-plans-2-trillion-megafund-to-dwarf-all-its-rivalsps the dumb bloomberg reporter ignores the fact that , if some one has to buy a company, they dont pay the current market cap... they pay more than that ;-) |

Looking through LinkedIn I see Andrea Leone has her city as New York. Hmmm. Is Seattle a decoy???
Rls has been setup to send us on a wild goose chase. But I think I'm getting closer. I've made a connection with RLS and Vernalis. I won't get into it, but for those that are interested. Check out the company Vernalis they have ties to inhaled products, Including to ones Matt has eluded to. Yes, even migraines.
Hopefully we hear something concrete next week.
