Now the realities....

A petitioner, e.g Google, need, IMO, do one of the following:

1. exhibit its own IP and apply skin in the game...in trying to obtain a gold seal of their own. They don't have it to apply.

2. exhibit dead IP...and try and simply defeat challenged New IP without any repercussions of the dead IP owner. Not enough aviable to defeat e.Digitals patented publishings.

3. Or have a healthy relationship with all the owners of prior art exhibits of New IP...if they do not, IMO, there will be repercussions. Google will not share the market with the likes of MSFT or any other company, or vice versa, as ITO is in its infancy... they all want the gold ring independently.

And we sit, as BLR put it, somewhere in the middle.....or lost in the middle until e.Digital informs us otherwise.
