It might very well be that EDIG presents with a very different model than those one time, high profile, decisions we so often see in the press.
EDIG has 174+ total infringers with market caps all over the place. Some will be negligible and others lucrative, with the latter more likely to appear after a positive claims construction ruling, on the steps of the courthouse, minutes prior to a jury's ruling.
As a result, it does not behoove EDIG to over emphasize the smaller settlement numbers...at least that appears to be what is transpiring.
That stated, it does not hurt management to employ a "marketing plan" to enhance shareholder value. Management does have options.
I think in a post-Markman environment they will be much more at liberty to exercise those options.
