Way back when, I posted that there will be companies that will offer to settle before DM even files against them. My opinion on this was not too widely accepted at the time, and for good reason.

Now that we have 6 of 8 wins, as in PATENT VALIDATION, my opinion is worth a repeat. If a company knows they have infringed, and see our success rate, why spend the extra funds getting a law firm on their side, which they would need to do (far as I know) once being filed upon? Why not make contact with EDIG and say, "that presentation by Pat Nunnaly was quite convincing, he's right, we are guilty, how much to make this go away?"

With 184+ from the start, and who knows if there have been some added since the SHM, there must be some, IMO, that would fit my senario.
