I know all those who settled thought that we would spend all the cash to invalidate it while they sat back thinking they made the smart biz move. They will still have to pay. And pay, and pay, and pay...
oh... hahha.. so basically, you guys will have been found to be not infringing and the patent is still valid... so ron & co. have no recourse because they have already agreed that they were infringing?
