Paul, no insult meant regarding Raging bull. It just appears you are more aligned with the thinking over there . that is not good nor bad as this is america right ? I am am of the half full mentality vrs half empty which is prevalent in the minds of those like LL who admitedly is not an expert on patent litigation and yet continually taqlks as if he is

I see your analogy but I have to disagree . many things have to happen in order for one of these cases to move foward

Step A first and foremost a lwa firm has to look at the case and the clients ability to pay . As we all know edig had no ability to pay and as such the case would have to be on a contingency basis. In order for a lawyer for a law firm to take on a contingency case he better have done some heavy due diligence and the reults must have been stellar in order for well respected patent litigation law firm like dm to take the case. Every hr they spend on a case they dont win or settle on they lose $ directly from their bottom line

So dm was compelled to take the case and go after infringers a good sign for sure

step B The cases are then presented to the courts and the courst agreed that there are cases here that need to proceed

Dm settles 8 for 8 aqnd counting and yet with all the above happening we are now told these are nuisance cases. here is a heads up if they were nuisance cases with no merit they would not have gotten dm to represent them and furthermore would not have gotten past step B

Step a and B are huge and the settlements are a validation that edig patents are in fact being violated
