My apologies if I sounded argumentative. What I was trying to point out is that since OUR TPL/PTSC lawyers were the ones that were introducing the most recent elevated license count and doing so in an official court brief, this idea of a strategy of not calling attention to the details is proven false.
Everyone knows that PTSC reveals the ALL OF the license revenue collected through its SEC filings. It's broken down quarterly. So all one has to do is look at the numbers revealed as per my last post, and you can pretty much determine how much on average the last batch of licenses has brought in. And they can do so for all of the years previous.
Whether or not the T3 can enter or argue these points seems irrelevant since it's our lawyers who have introduced these numbers and/or the rest of it is public information. The only thing that remains a bit of a mystery, is the actual licensee in some cases (roughy 14 out of 91), and the specific license amount paid (all but appox 10).
My point and Ron's point, I believe, is this. PTSC is already allowing this info to be disseminated thorugh Allicense's PRs, Court Filings, and thier own SEC filings. With that in mind, why don't they formulate a strategic communications plan that organizes as much of this info that can be released, and do so in a way that presents it in as positive and professional way as possible, and that legitimizes it and creates whatever meausrable metrics they can so that it benefits the company.
Rather, they operate in a clandestine fashion, with haphazard, inconsistent and sometimes contradictory information being released. IMO what it does is lend credence to a questionable legitimacy of the patent licensing programe and allows for a corporate culture of unaccountability at PTSC and of PTSC's dealings with TPL.
Again, my responses weren't intended to be argumentative, but simply to point out that the REALITY is that the actual number of licenses, aggregate revenues brought in, and majority of company identities are all public knowledge already. The only thing that seems to be clandestine, is PTSC's treatment of the information in reporting it to their shareholders through their refusal to develop a regular, professional and consistent method of positively framing and communicating the information.
