Acacia is partners with all the companies that licensed the patent, since the license is based on gross revenue (percentages varying from sweetheart deals to 2-4%). When the licensees make more money, Acacia makes more money, and that money does go into legal fund. Acacia is burning alot of money in legal fees as well as the defendants.
The difference is that part of the legal fees by Acacia are being funded by the $2M in annualized license revenue, whereas the current 11+ defendants are burning the profits from their companies to fund the defense.
You would think that those that settled would want to help the defendants privately, but I heard a rumour that some webmasters feel that Acacia isn't pushing hard enough on their competition.
Patents can be used as an anti-competitive measure. It is very conceivable that anyone who settled with Acacia, could be doing so for a BUSINESS DECISION to financially cripple their competitors.
Fight the Hidden Agendas and the Funding of Acacia!
