NDA signed with Major MFG

With PPA in hand, I approached a major MFG about one of my innovations....   Coincidentally, the company had been planning an internal symposium to brain-storm solutions for the very topic addressed by my product.   They welcomed me with open arms and invited me to speak at their symposium.   Within a couple of days, we had executed a NDA.  We are now collaborating on the upcoming symposium slated for late Aug 2012.  Fingers crossed.
