RP has stated many times "DM is in total control" of the lawsuit process. RP has not stated EDig has to give it's persmission for any settlement arranged by DM.

That may be implied, however it has never been stated.

AT the SHM RP iterated the above.

DM is on contingency....That means everything as far as I am concerned.

Would DM take a case like this on contingency if it did not have total control, if all the decisions it made or contemplated making were ar the vagaries of WB, RP, FF, and PN's previous evenings consumption of "bubbly"?

I am not an attorney nor do I know anything about law or technology. I know a little about business but it seems to me when EDig took on DM and DM took on EDig they, in effect, became partners.

DM has control of all of EDigs patents and holds an ownership interest in them.

Of course there are guidelines to follow, EDig informed DM what it expected, and remains involved (I am assuming) in the negotiations, per RP and PN at the SHM.

But that said, just why does DM have to get their "partners" permission to settle anything?
