Let me expalin my last post a little...
When I mentioned the SANDISK CASE implications, I meant to state that the 9th Circuit Court of Appeal decision in Sandisk vs. S&T Microelectronics, (in the words of Justice Bryson), mandates that when a party is sued for Patent infringement, along with the law suit they are to be served with a "put up or shut up" letter by Plaintiffs, giving defendants a reasonable time to respond to plaintiff's demands...
Rejection of the demands made by Plaintiffs, either explicitly, or by implication,(i.e. not doing anything during the time period specified in the letter), opens the door to Summary Judgment Proceedings in the case.
Thus, DM has the additional burden of getting the case in a posture that is ready to be brought to a conclusion on a Summary Judgment Proceeding even before they file the law suit...
It is here that I disagree with your following comment:...
"They may not be spending a lot of valuable time on this particulat project."...
I submit they are spending a lot more time on the "Monetinzation" project to meet the burden imposed on DM by the Sandisk case.
