The issue of why the company keeps MUM has been discussed here in the past.
I am surprised at this "Itch" to have company issuing PR'S that are deemed contrary to "Settlement Startegy" followed by DM and EDIG...
The company has said the following:...
1) The current emphasis is on the "Monetization of the IP"...
2) It is mainly done through efforts of DM, and DM calls the shots on all aspects of when, where, how the publicity is to happen...
3) This puts the publicity efforts by the company in a straight jacket woven by DM for many good reasons, some of which have a direct impact on the settlement efforts expended by DM as discussions continue. For example, there are 3 possible settlements that we know of because of Pacer filings...
Pacer is a public site and any one can pay their 8 cents a copy and download any information appearing there. Thus, those negotiating the settlement on Nikon, or Vivitar, or Casio, don't have to explain any information appearing on PACER to their CEO'S, Boards, or those signing their pay checks. On the other hand, a PR by EDIG crowing they got X million dollars fron NIKON for infringment of its patents, has great negative ramifications for the signers of the settlement agreements and their companies.
Therefore, I am positive that "Stellement Strategy" is the keyand cannot be dismissed lightly as you say, and it shall continue to be dominant till we get a Positive Markamn Ruling. Until then, we shall find out about a settlement in general terms when it is signed, sealed and delivered. And we shall know of the monetary sums exchanged in a Q report.
Live with it till we get the MARKMAN RULING. In the meantime enjoy the money being added to the bottom line which the company has said shall be used to expand eVU business into other markets...Lol...Lol...
