You have many posts.
You injected yourself into my question to aewilliamson, to which I replied back to you. If you have a historical post that specifically addresses the question I had posed to aewilliamson, just point me to the post # and I will gladly go read it.
I am quite aware of the various suits. The post I initially posed a question about seemed to be quite specific about not only a timeline to reach $1 by June but also seemed to imply that there was an imminent settlement which would accelerate reaching $1 earlier than that. My question to the original poster was re: which specific suit he believes there is an imminent settlement for by the end of June. None of my DD leads me to believe that there will be any such settlements in this timeframe, so I am interested in why he believes this.
Get ready, once the settlement figures are PR'd and more settlements are PR'd 1.00 may be achievable in a much less time frame. O/S is small.
Got it. Appreciate the clarification. Thx...
Personally, when the revised S4 came out, it told the street that the merger is still not approved by the SEC and another delay has occurred.
How can they not cover if the price goes up? Don't they get margin calls like retail?
If I was short I would be using Monday or Tuesday as a last chance to cover.
Guys I hope it don't go that low either but remember last November right after the verdict if I remember correctly, the shorts pushed it down swiftly to $1.75 and it recovered fast. Could happen again and if so I will put in a buy at around $1.90-2.00 just in case.
Nice writeup and thank you. So you're saying that $3.39 is your upside target after VRNG gets awarded money? It hit $3.39 just on MSFT rumors alone end of March.
I think it's priced in that goog says they don't owe anything.
what's frustrating is why the market doesnt have this priced in at all in the very least yet?
its clearly becoming quite a certainty, and yet the market seems to think a market cap of just under 300mm is fair value.
Actually, the more I think about it, the more I am recalling that being a PE may NOT be a criteria for claiming willfulness. IANAL, so I may be mistaken, but I believe that willfulness is willfulness regardless of whether the patent owner is a PE or not -- the claim of willfulness is primarily an assessment of the defendant's behavior and NOT an assessment of the plaintiff.
Once the condition of willfulness has been established, then I believe that the PE vs NPE designation may come into play, as this distinction will guide the Court as to which remedies are available and appropriate to address the willful conduct of the defendant. For example, as Ghart mentions in his subsequent post, the remedy of injunctive relief, as this particular remedy is heavily influenced by whether or not the plaintiff is a PE or not.
But, the bottom line is that, as Ghart points out, if SG put it in writing and formally claimed willfulness, then this is one area where I would have to say that it would make perfect sense to rely on SG, as I am certain that SG would not make a fool of themselves by claiming willfulness if the minimum criteria for making such a claim were not even met.
Time and Time again this stock does the same thing, it's a joke. tired of this thing. Selling and never looking back, glta
Worlds has been a PE since the 90's.
Are you serious Nolerman? Sure they have has little revenue the past few years but at one point Worlds was an innovator in the MMO 3D environment.
Right, I get that. My point was simply that those investors who may be having visions of now getting a piece of the international pie are letting the cart get in front of the horse in the sense that even if there were int'l registrations for these patents, any monetization of these would be highly contingent upon a successful enforcement of the patents here domestically first. A failed suit against ATVI would not bode well for WDDD's chances of attempting to enforce the same patents overseas. Again, all this assuming that there are even int'l registrations for these patents already on the books.
I would imagine though that any discussions re: any possible international registrations of WDDD's patents are premature at best, considering that they will only be of value AFTER a successful enforcement action of the US patent against ATVI. First things first...
These "PATENT PLAYS" have now been thoroughly publicized, written about, blogged and signaled to the 4 corners of Earth..etc,etc,
Do you think this increased number of players will have a detrimental effect on the height of the SP when they all start selling (at the same time) to get their Pre Markman profits---and post Markman profits,,,,sorta like prematurely halting the SP run potntial---
as compared to the past when there were substanially less traders playing the "patent/lawsuit" mkt???? giving the SP more opportunity to run---both Pre and Post Markman----
But not affecting any of us long term investors who are waiting on the Trial and/or Buy-out--just perhaps giving us a couple nice opps to add shares--
Many who play pre-Markman have zero interest in the actual case. They play the pre-hearing momo and bail without ever really doing any DD.
That's a very safe play but in my opinion limits any real upside.
At the moment, however, the only guarantee is that I will sell enough to recover my initial investment.
Donald C. Schultz?
No idea what or who DS is. LOL ......
Did I say nice to close today @ .44? Should have went for .46!
This things moving up on nearly no volume. It's primed for the next take off.
Make it 3 articles. I plan on writing something on how to profit from these types of investments and what to avoid.
Your post could be believable if it had some reasoning about what is wrong with the article. Article looks persuasavie IMO
Settlement w/ Google read this article...great read and provides excellent insight.

With a great result at the Markman hearing Activision will never let this go to trial with the threat of willful and injunction hanging over their head. I know Cooler will be here to shoot me down with the "It is very difficult to prove willful" argument, but just the threat of the two has to bring them to the settlement table sooner or later.
People betting the stock wont be over $3.00 on May 18th knowing the ruling here is due to come out on May 20th.
Profit taking...these are day traders you are refuring to.
I can't beleive it, it still is getting beatin down ...by shorts.
Same players behind VRNG are in DSS. VRNG is up big today because Google lost an appeal. VRNG keeps beating that Goliath over and over again. I mention that because it proves IPNav knows thier patents and the law.
Vringo could be a huge winner and I hope it is, but not in this ballpark.
IMO you cannot compare VRNG and WDDD because all WDDD has is the one patent case and no money. If they lose at Markmen now what? VRNG has 500 patents a ringtone business and 60 Million in the bank and is in settlement talks with Microsoft and could be a takeover target is listed on NASDQ
Blue Calypso flaming. Hopefully investors are seeing this for the house of cards that it is. If so, then the window on their 15 minutes of fame will close, which can only benefit the remaining speculative patent plays, such as WDDD.
It is too early for the pre-Markman runup for DSS, and so w/regards to the pending merger w/Lexington, I would venture to say that the value proposition may no longer be there for investors looking to DSS as a place to park there $$$ -- which would also be a good thing for WDDD.
The Markman for MGT hasn't even been scheduled yet, so clearly this should not compete w/WDDD for investors; however, there may be some interest in MGT due to the anticipated settlement with one of the co-defendants, but it still seems that a Markman catalyst such as WDDD would be more appealing to speculators at this time.
Bottom line: Patience. WDDD's time is coming.
IMO, articles won't matter for WDDD.
Right now the biggest catalyst for WDDD is VRNG. Even though VRNG and WDDD are different, people have the mindset that they're the same. Simply, they are both small companies that are suing bigger companies for patent infringement (again, they're different, but most people haven't done good DD to know the differences).
Right now, many (pretty much all) people who are invested in VRNG are holding the bag even after they beat Google in court. Why should they invest in another company when even with a win, there's no PPS gain. VRNG will eventually pop, but it might take a year.
It is impossible to deny that if VRNG had their pps that they're worth with the correct settlement price(probably about $7), WDDD would already be at a $1.50. Anyway, we must be patient, because WDDD can climb 20-30% (or beyond) on any given day before Markman (all just my opinion)
MAY 21, 2013 is specified for merger. New 8K out after hours.
JP Moreno Report on DSS
Start here if you have not already: www.diversifiedip.com PDF file, 75 page report: "Diversified Intellectual Property -- The Emergence of Document Security Systems (DSS)"
[mod edit: This was originally Post #111 by postyle. Only posts less than 48 hours old can be stickied so I had to re-post it as a "new" post in order to sticky it]
Great price action today! All hail JP Moreno!!!
Well look at the timing of the patents here at WDDD, they could have existing patents filed, and waiting for them to go through, further strengthening their case.
Seems to me there is perhaps a very simple reason for a singular suit against ATVI. A high end legal team working on contingency is going to concentrate their efforts on the highest mark, not spread their own dollar and time thin when they are taking on all the risk. The man hours and money to prepare a plethora of cases, all with the risk of zero reward, makes no sense... Cut off the head! With the financing perhaps we may now see Worlds move ahead with additional suits (not on contingency). But this close to Markman, why not just wait a see what you really have?
Worlds beats all other patent plays due to it having the nearest Markman date and the largest possible recovery of all as well.
Throw that in with a tiny market cap, 1 insider who won't sell any until we get in the dollars and world class representation fully on contingency. You get an explosive situation!
