...anybody can program...

If that is true, then why has no one programmed and demo'd an app based on the Nunchi platform/patents? Until it's real, it's vaporware.

We will never sue our way to success. We live in an adverse environment where patents and NPEs are concerned. The courts have spoken on numerous recent cases. Many patents are being ruled obvious and are not being protected by the courts. Even if we won, we would ultimately loose on appeal or upon the first, second, or third re-examination (or fourth or fifth and so on).

DM's loss at our first Markman is nothing compared to what is going on now... not just EDIG, but everywhere. Companies don't have to settle so long as the courts favor the infringers.

The only way to succeed is to build something of value, build it first, build it better than anyone else, and build it in such a way that it cannot easily be copied. You can encrypt all communications between the cell phone (app) and the servers (Nunchi platform) where the databases, algorithms, and therefore most of the intelligence would reside.

As you said, this is not that hard to do - and it should be a relatively simple thing to do on a small scale... like a POC (Proof of Concept). They needed to have done this years ago. They still need to do it.

If Nunchi has value, then prove it.
