See this, a recent lens patent. Would you buy a Konica Micro Four Thirds camera?

Unless I missed something, there was only a lens patent. Konica could make lenses as a third party supplier without ever getting into the camera side of things. Furthermore, they could design and manufacture the lens for Panasonic and it could wind up wearing the Panasonic nameplate.

I can't imagine Konica trying to get back on the camera side of the prosumer bandwagon now that the camera market is in contraction. Samsung's recent abandonment of the NX line made KM's departure look like a retirement party.
