Consider a BIG infringer paying a large settlement, and/or licensing fee while taking a position in EDIG via stock as part of the settlement...something we have seen in other patent infringement settlements....then initiate a buyout, essentially buying back their settlement while still having 150++ companies for DM to litigate against which would more than cover their costs and exposure. Any appreciation in the stock, which would likely ensue, would further diminish their risk.
Many of the existing and potential infringers have extremely large cash positions. We are also seeing an increase in M&A activity.
Can DM make that deal ?
That would make my day....lol.
