The timelines are interesting or the Pacer's wording is incorrect........
From the Pacer (background section)......
In the instant actions, Plaintiffs allege that in late 2005, TPL enlisted its Cupertino, California-based licensing entity, Alliacense, to demand that Plaintiffs enter into royalty-bearing licenses with respect to the MMP and CFP patents. TPL claimed that Plaintiffs’ products infringed the subject patents and that Plaintiffs could be liable for substantial infringement damages. TPL expressly threatened to file suit against Plaintiffs. The parties met on numerous occasions between early 2006 and February 2008, but negotiations were unsuccessful. Plaintiffs filed the instant actions on February 8, 2008.
