First, thanks for all of your inforitive posts.

I think the current dry spell is going to continue until there is a USPTO ruling one way or another.

I can't really see any companies buying a license with the ruling potentially around the corner.

I know people are going to say if companies don't pay up now....then they'll be paying more later. That is fine and it may be so. However, if the 336 is invalidated for some reason....then there would be no reason to have purchased that license. I think, and this is completely an opinion, that companies are waiting it out and will act when a ruling is handed down.
