They would be light years ahead if they all settled prior to legal action. The number suits that spur new suits is getting ridiculous. And at the end of the day it comes down to writing a check and cross licensing so they can move forward on new product development while minimizing the risk of patent infringement.

To deal with an "EDIG" in advance of a legal course of action saves time and money.

The only ones who might disagree are the lawyers.
