The timing of the Google settlement and the formation of Illia is too close together for me, thus my comment.

Is it at all possible this separate private company licensed all of our patents, has agreements in place to add child patents once published, and the money went to the private company?

I'm just throwing spaghetti at the wall, but we did not know about this "spin off" outfit either til sman dug it up, or someone else did?

Something stinks, and we have felt it since GOOG settled.
