DM signed on to enforce the patent.
The strength of the patent was weakened, based on incorrect interpretation of the process involved. (If it was this simple as was suggested, we'd all have i-Pods with one song capacity that we would have to listen to within 4 minutes of downloading... if we were lucky.)
DM dropping EDIG would have to be disclosed on an 8-k, (Material Events) and there is no record at this time of that being filed.
Until such time as there is, DM is still 'on board'.
NO NEWS.... the patent prosecution plods along, albeit with a detour.
The patent will be validated.... but the serfs weren't supposed to be on board here.
