If you recall, originally EDIG Business Plan was to license their intelectuall property,($14 dollars for every $1500 MP3 units sold), in the form of royalty from OEMS who would manufacture the products and sell them to public,(just like Qualcom)...

Those were the days Qualcom split 3 ways and was up to $350 per share. People were projecting $500 Dollar pps for EDIG in those days...

Then we had th big crash of 2000, and EDIG could not make a ``deal`` if their life depended on it...

7 years later we have the PTSC model that seems to be working. That is why I wrote the post below yesterday...

If you juxtapose my post with what you quote from todays PR you will see that this is not a traditional ``let us hire a lawyer and sue, as was the case with Eclipse. The company will ``PARTNER`` with TPL,(a company made up of PATENT Lawyers that operate on a world wide scale...

The newly formed partnership files law suits, usually in San Jose, San Francisco, or Texas Federal Courts who have

a reputaion of understading and ``Moving`` these cases on a

``Fast Track`` basis, and seek the answer to the validity of their Patent Claims...

As soon as the answer to the first question is resolved, then th partnership proceeds with ``Licensing`` the intelectual property to companies who are already using it as they are ``committed`` to putting products out...

When you really think of it, it is another way of getting ``Royalty`` from manufacturers of products using EDIG``s intelectual property. The creation of the ``Partnership`` reduces litigation costs to what the partnership recovers after they have ``marketed`` the

intelectual property rights to those who are using it.

Hope this scenario works for EDIG as it seems to be working for PTSC...We will see?...

Good Luck to all...
