I hear the complaints about revisiting the past. I hear the complaints about pointing out the ongoing actions that are the same as what they've done in the past. What I don't here is what are they doing that is going to positively affect the share price?
I see what TPL is doing in prosecuting the MMP and infringers, and HOPEFULLY, that is bringing us closer to an event that will cause enough interest to make the share price rise. But what is that event?
Considering we've had:
- positive re-exam results - 17 total I believe
- settlements from the J3
- licenses sold - 93 of them I believe
- license revenue - $312M of it best I can count
- licenses sold in last 27 months - roughly 24 best that can be ascertained from the limited info
- license revenue in the last 27 months - roughly $15.1M per the SEC filings
- positive markman results from the J3 case
- positive markman results from the T3 case
- streamlined PTSC operations (at least from a personnel perspective)
- resolution of the PTSC v TPL battles
- positive preliminary events at the ITC

We seem to have all the things go our way that people have pointed to that would presumably cause an uptick in the pps. However, the goal posts seem to continue to get moved.
It seems at this point that the only thing that will cause enough interest to warrant an actual pps appreciation is a license or 2 in the $10M plus range or better. Even then, based on history, it seems that that would likely cause a very temporary move of a small scale.
Has Cliff Flowers, Gloria Felcyn and Carlton Johnson relegated PTSC to an impotent mechanism whose only function is to tell the world 45 - 90 days after the fact how much or how little money the MMP collected and how much it cost to do so?
Is THAT the business plan?
I'm all ears about the potential positives, and the ACTUAL positives, but what is the realistic plan put forth by the company? Are posters on a message board REALLY supposed to carry the water for the company? Is there REALLY nothing that our BOD and management can do but sit and wait and give themselves raises and bonuses but NOT invest in the company despite that?
Let's hear the plan. If not from the company, from complaining posters here.
