I fail to see why it really matters, other than whether it's a contingency deal vs pay as you go, who represents EDIG.

If there is a conflict of interest with DM, there is no choice in the matter.

The fact remains, the patents/IP have been validated 3 times. A precident has been set. More dominos will fall.

Yes, DM is one of the experts in this field, but there are many others who can represent EDIG's best interest when it becomes required.

I'm sure EDIG/DM had this planned from day one.
