"but with others using our technology we can't use it??"

I did not mention e.Digital could not use it's own IP. e.Digital wants to sell or rent it as you suggest.

Sad to say, but plagiarizing IP is real and easy.

With that, subsequent a positive Markman opinion on 108, IMVHO, settling companies held e.Digital by the shot hairs due to IPR's.

The question asked was not answered. It's understandable as to why it was not answered. IPR's got in the way.
