Another scenario that I have seen many times, particularly in penny stocks and emerging companies.

The MMs saw an ideal situation with the lawsuits and and recent patent approvals and orchestrated an upward share price movement. They capitalized on two major factors and investment emotions and generated maximum interest.

As with all well planned price movements, they are actively but slowly taking the price back down to more reasonable levels while considering the return generated from those who may be willing to sell at gains of 3-5 times their cost 6 months past.

Think about it, you have probably seen this happen in other stocks.
