"We commend the Force10 Management team for its timely review of the MMP Portfolio and decisive action to assure that the distribution of Force 10 products will continue uninterrupted” said Roy Maharaj, Vice President, Licensing at Alliacense, adding “the recent success of several MMP patents in re-examinations at the USPTO have led a number of companies back to the negotiating table.”
Big difference between "hundreds" and "a number of" in my opinion. As I've said many times, don't forget who's putting out the PR's. I see no reason to leave such compelling statements out of the PR. "Hundreds" certainly speaks from a position of strength, assuming it's true.
