When this deal was signed, to the best of my knowledge there was no intellectual property protection to protect the investments of the systems integrator.
I expect the investors took this into account. I suppose that in their judgment, robust intellectual property protection is likely to come.
A business agreement is a private contract. It is not subject to the kinds of laws that are supposed to protect investors in public markets, or consumers buying goods in the store. Anyone can agree to pay anyone else any sum of money the parties agree to, no matter how high the risks may be.
Is anyone at risk here in any way?
There is more risk than you can imagine. On the other hand, the potential payoff is one of the largest in the history of business.
