You are right. I agree that EDIG would need a contingency deal. That was my premise, but I didn`t state it very well.

IF, big IF, a sugar daddy legal team takes on EDIG per a contingency contract, that would tell us that the legal team did it`s DD and believe EDIG has a valid complaint against some number of mean ole copy cats. We know the patents are valid. We don`t know who the infringing parties might be -- only speculation until EDIG states otherwise.

I don`t believe that EDIG could or would go toe-to-toe with large infringing parties without a ``TPL like`` company to fight the fight and get a license deal completed.

IMO, the whole idea of IP license deals is a much longer term business model than actually selling some stuff to somebody who will pay for it. Certainly, I hope the speculation plays out in EDIG`s favor, but it could take a long time.

For example, PTSC filed ``notice`` in Jan 2003 and received their first payment early this year....and they had TPL doing the dirty work after a battle for the Moore portfolio patent rights. So, if you take out that battle time, you still get years, not months, to see revenue. Maybe it can happen sooner, but we do not yet know if EDIG has a ``GO`` from any legal entity. IMO, that will be the key first step to let us know there is real life and possible revenue in EDIG`s patents.
