The reason given for filing first, then negotiating after the fact, was for DM to control the court venue as well as not giving the infringer a heads up to undermine their efforts, before the fact. Certainly DM would like all cases to be filed in one court, the court of their liking and not have billion dollar companies file first in multiple venues, thus compromising DM's efforts.

Also I was told they will try to keep filings under the radar screen as much as possible.  Considering the sleuthing going on however, I'm not sure how sucessful that effort will be...lol. I have the utmost confidence that DM knows what they are doing.

As for the market's interpretation and subsequent response to such litigation, I don't know how well investors can accurately interpret events as they unfold with regard to value, as we see differences of opinion daily.

Therefore, I am hoping either Blakeley (EDIG) and/or DM make efforts to keep shareholders informed and focused on the progress at hand to keep investors focused and not distracted from the FUD that awaits.  That effort by management alone should help to increase shareholder value, assuming events unfold in our favor.

I suppose what I was told is subject to change but that was the last conversation I had on this topic, which is about one or two months old.
