As with a reverse split, pursuing companies in Germany is all about having the right conditions in place. As you speak with such authority on the matter, I'm sure you will be fully aware of the differences between the legal systems involved.

Which brings me to this statement,

Some of those companies paid a miniscule fee relative to their size and apparent chip usage.

Where are the details to be found which shows which chips were infringing and which weren't?

Does Alliacense have the financial prowess to sue hundreds at the same time?

Even a cursory look at the pacers for EDoT and California will show the complexity of dealing with 2 or 3 alleged infringers. Why on earth would they want to sue hundreds at the same time, given that they prefer to negotiate a settlement? If they were to sue, I humbly suggest that it would be a single entity with the sole purpose of setting an example.

You must also be aware, no matter what the current economic climate, that settlement can take many forms other than purely monetary, including any combination from cash, options, revenue share, stock, and joint venture, to name but a few.

By all means stick with the facts but please bear in mind recent USPTO decisions have updated what were once perceived as the same facts for over the last 2 years.

Be well
