I posted this the other day and wondered why TPL is no longer pursuing infringment on the 148 against Sirius.? The patent has expired so if there are any valid prior art challenges it can no longer be modified. The date of the letter to Sirius (3/15/2010) might indicate a recent event. Any thoughts, anyone?

"14. Responding to paragraph 14 of the Complaint, Defendants admit there is an actual, substantial and justicia le controversy between the parties as to the ‘336, ‘749, and ‘890 Patents. Defendants further admit that, on March 15, 2010, TPL offered Sirius XM a covenant not to sue on the ‘584 and ‘148 Patents and thus deny there is an actual, substantial and justiciable controversy between the parties with regard to these two patents. Except as so expressly admitted, denied."
Question: Have there been any developments with PTO on the 148 patent recently that would lead PTL(TPL..Sorry)to offer a covenant not to sue on the 148 ?
