"A patent remains valid, including any USPTO reexamination, until it is either invalidated or can no longer be extended."

Nothing new to me, I know this...;-))... but the current lack of new licensees (as mentioned in the Conference Call last week) seems to show a difference between "valid patents" and "valid patents"...

I guess, we have those kind of "valid patents", where the rest of the world has no problem to consider not paying or to wait a long time before they pay.

Remember the 600 companies informed by TPL? They obviously don't think the patents are valid enough UNTIL the USPTO hasn't re-validated.

Obviously there is a huge difference between the legal state of a patent remaining valid during the re-validation process and the reality (as seen by those, who infringe the patent) - would you agree?
