I agree that ``Monetizing IP`` may not happen this calendar yaer, and that what we need is product sales, quarter to quarter increase. But I disagree with the rest of your conclusions...Let me explain...

Your statements that``Patent settlement deals in our favor may be a one time deal with each company...``, and ``It does not matter PTSC won some suits...`` is indicative of the fact that you misread what ``Monetizing the IP`` entails. What follows is my sincere effort to explain this once again so as you will not miss the boat like what happened in PTSC case...

FIRST:

PTSC has not won any suits thus far. Their law suits were transfered to rocket docket in east Texas when the Californis Federal Court concluded that the ``MOORE PATENT PORTEFOLIO`` being handled by TPL,(which includes the

patents owned by PTSC),were valid enough to get by the Motions for Summary Judgments filed by Intel and a host of other alleged infingers. Now all the issues have to be litigated in the TEXAS Federal Court...

I recall months ago when PTSC was selling at .09 cents and

I wrote a post on this which was decried by Don and others

commenting with sentiments similar to yours about EDIG infringment claims, which was the defendants would bury EDIG in litigation...

It is important that you have an appriciation of the fact

that PATENT INFRINGMENT LAW SUITS are different than usual

run of the mill litigation...

The only true defense against a Patent infringment law suit is to show that said patent is invalid. Just like Microsoft has been doing thus far, and couple of post

ago we had posts showing how they are defending these cases.

What TPL has brought to the table has been the unique marketing talent that once the cases go beyond motions for summary judgments they proceed with a ``DIVIDE AND CONQUER``

strategy which has been labeled ``MONETIZING``.

PTSC has moved from $.09 cents to $1.23, last I looked, in the interval when the law suits were filed, and when they were transfered to TEXAS COURT for litigation on validity

of the patents, and other frivilous defenses raised by defendants. I call,(and this my judgment call), any defense besides ````VALIDITY OF PATENT`` friviolous because once you prove the patent is VALID, the issue becomes one of public policy...

The question becomes do we allow lax patent protection, which is a license to every Chandra, chan, Low, Lee, and

Matsuda, to infringe on US Patents thus causing an outsourcing of the wealth of this Nation to other countries...SIMPLY SAID THIS IS BAD PUBLIC POLICY...

A Patent issued by US Patent Office is prima facia evidence of VALIDITY of said patent. The burden shifts to defendants to prove (a) the patent is invalid. (b) patent does not apply to what is claimed to be an ``INFIRNGEMEN`` by defendants...

From Microsoft,(Gates holding the puck on Larry King Live in 1999, to INTEL,(putting three of their VPs on EDIG Board), to TEXAS INSTRUMENTS, to Portal Player, to Apple, to Samsung, etc., etc., etc., all have a long history with EDIG and what it did to facilitate the Digital Revolution in which they are making billions...

EDIG Patents re FLASH are as good if not better than what

PTSC claims were. Discounting its importance by looking at the trees and not seeing the forest is tantamount to missing great opportuniies to make money in this stock...

EDIG will never see the light of day,($ 12 DOLLAR PPS so Sunpoop can have his tourney), by selling eVUS. It may have a chance if the TPL takes EDIG`s case...

And these things I beleive to be important to assement of what this stock may or may not be worth in te near future...

Good Luck to us all...
