A few months after the Japanese asked that we ship the
protoypes
back for scrapping! I dread to think of the costs involved.
It doesn't matter. The value of their intellectual property
and trade secrets, and the need to control them, so far outweigh
those shipping costs.

I once worked for a company in the UK who were working on some hardare
which was being developed in Japan. The Japanese sent over three or four
prototypes which, for reasons I now forget, we never used. A few months
after the Japanese asked that we ship the protoypes back for scrapping!
I dread to think of the costs involved.
