It appears as though your statement, "can of worms", would relate to TPL and PTSC having to return licensing fees if the key patents in the MMP were invalidated. First, there are several patents in the MMP and companies license the entire portfolio of seven (?) patents. Would all seven be invalidated?
The "can of worms" was CenturyCom's, not mine, I only quoted it.
As to your "return licensing fees if the key patents in the MMP were invalidated" I have only a two word reply:
caveat emptor
All licensees conducted their own validity searches and subsequently purchased, so I'm unsure how you were able to link the "can of worms" to "return licensing fees", more so with your statement, "The people running this show are everybit as intelligent as anyone on this board. And they are at least as experienced in their individual fields, i.e., electrical engineering, contract law, etc., as anyone on this board."
Like you, "I am all eyes" for your considered reply.
Be well
