That was part of my point. My assumption is that many of the potential infringers have already analyzed the patents. I would assume they have full knowledge regarding where the patent is in the USPTO process. If they felt strongly enough about it's validity, they would license now rather then later. They have just as much responsibility to save their shareholders money as they do to spend it prematurely. I feel like at this juncture we are well past the premature stage. Hence my point that a USPTO revalidation and a subsequent victory in court, may be needed to breath more life into the MMP. I strongly believe many of the infringers have already picked their sides.
