Maybe BRN can pick up a few patents in the fire sale:What the YPB ASX announcement doesn’t tell you, though, is that the original company NVISO SA, headquartered in the Swiss canton of Vaud/Waadt as well as its branch in the canton of Jura were declared bankrupt only six weeks later, on September 7, 2023!
Mmmhhh…
This is what I discovered, when trying to find out more about the NVISO Group:

Insolvenzeröffnung means opening of insolvency proceedings.
It then led me to the following documents published by the Swiss Official Gazette of Commerce:

I recall a number of (since deleted) posts here on TSEx around the time when former CEO Tim Llewellyn got fired, but the bankruptcy proceedings four months ago have never been a discussion topic, as far as I can tell.
I strongly suspect that Sword of Damocles was the reason why the new legal construct of NVISO Group was formed, with corporate headquarters in Australia, shortly before the original company was liquidated in Switzerland. Maybe someone with knowledge in international business law can comment on the legality of such proceedings?
According to LinkedIn, NVISO has had a sales manager in Japan since 2019, so their presence there is not new.

What I find extremely weird is that neither NVISO’s website nor its LinkedIn post history mention anything at all about the company’s death and resurrection. As if nothing had happened.
However, I trust the Brainchip management is aware of all this, since they’ve been cooperating with NVISO all this time and would know more about what was going on behind the scenes, and we can only hope the newly registered company is financially healthy now.
nViso do have a patent.I would go with it was a financial restructure. A company can operate they are given money to keep the business going and basicly new debt is offered and new owners take over with limited noise.
Take a read about a 8 billion loss on Weatherford international they went bankrupt but business continued with out a issue.
The bond holder became the main shareholders it was in their best interest.
So for Nviso they must have something of value that resulted in their survival and continued operations. Which would be a good thing IMO.
