I have not looked closely at that, but the general trend in patent cases and reviews recently seems to be against patent holders for the moment. I do not expect this to change for a few years at least.
The big turning of the tide on patent issues, as I see it, was when VRNG lost the case to GOOG on appeal at the DC Circuit, and then got denied a hearing at the US Supreme court.
While some people viewed the loss as nothing more than 'just another case', a number of people, myself included, were shocked at the outcome. The reason is that here you had a patent, that had been filed years ago by a law firm, reviewed by the USPTO, then other experts in the fields working for VRNG reviewed all of the material, they took the case to court, won a jury trial; only to have to all fall apart on appeal after pressing forward for years.
I think for WDDD to have a chance, there is going to have to be a turning of the tide and opinion on patents, which I expect will take years and be too late for WDDD to realize any money from the patents.
The time for WDDD was back when the whole 'patent lawsuit space' was doing well, around 2011/2012 and the VRNG verdict in its trial with GOOG.
I think the problem is that WDDD decided that instead of taking some money off of the table and taking some profit by doing a deal, they decided they could get everything and precluded doing any deals with anyone.
