Those are verbs.
What do you mean "we"?
Sounds like an accusation of some real wrongdoing here. I'll wait for you to provide the link, of course.
Guess we'll just wait and see, won't we...
You and Peggy both sound like Alfred E. Neuman with that tired tripe. "What me worry?"
Guess that's fitting, 'cause you both MAD you didn't get in when this play could have made you some real money. Now it's tooooo late....
And what YOU'RE ignoring--besides basic grammar--is the fact that multiple settlements will alleviate their short-term money problem. The way to fix "no cash" is "mo' cash"!!!
Seems pretty win-win to me!
Maybe SFOR can acquire DUO with their own settlement money! :D
There's just something about seeing the equivalent of my annual salary in my portfolio's "Daily Gain" column, that makes me absolutely giddy!
With the apoc-eclipse on Monday, I fully expect SFOR to announce multiple settlements---just before the world ends...
No way!! MY being diluted??
Please correct me if I'm mistaken, but the patent that ACS has agreed to buy is not among the ones being (allegedly) infringed. So why would there be any litigation hold on that patent if it's not being directly contested in any of the current suits?
No excuses here from me... I'm merely suggesting that SFOR's absence from ISO's patent database can and should be remedied. Cross-walking the patents that are on file at the USPO with ISO's documented standards should be sufficient enough.
You want 2% or whole? Chocolate's extra...
Where'd I get the info from? That's just what ISO is and what ISO does.
And just because a patent hasn't been declared with ISO, does not mean it doesn't exist or isn't valid. That's what the USPO is for...and why we have patent law. They even put a disclaimer about it in the foreward. You'll notice that the two standards that Z linked were not even listed on the excel patent database you're referring to, so it's likely that patents haven't been declared for those standards yet... YET....
Well the patent database spreadsheet you refer to has no declaration for those two standards that Z linked. But ISO includes a disclaimer in the forward of each standard stating that patent rights may/may not exist, and it's not in their wheelhouse to get involved in any of that discussion.
Your question wasn't about validity or existence of patents though. Yours was "why/how does any of this pertain to Strikeforce"...
I know, with all of the information we get bombarded with on a daily basis, that it can be confusing. But try to follow the bouncing ball here:
ISO (which stands for "INTERNATIONAL Organization for STANDARDIZATION") is a worldwide body made up of experts who promote standards across many areas--technology included. Systems, equipment or processes that are ISO certified carry an expectation that they are widely used on an international level, safe and reliable, and considered "best practice" in their respective industries.
ISO has published standards for Multifactor Authentication/Out-of-band Authentication, as well as Biometric and other security frameworks. These technologies are patented by... (can you guess?) That's right! Strikeforce Technologies, Inc!
So essentially what we have (and why it should matter to us) is pretty simple. An identified INTERNATIONAL STANDARD is being widely used by everyone in the industry, with the patented rights to that standard belonging to a teeny-tiny company in New Jersey that's currently trading at a penny and a half.
It's kinda like the cow vs. the milk analogy. Right now everyone's taking the milk for free, so why buy the cow right? They're really just stealing from the cow though, and very soon with Blank Rome's and Ropes&Gray's help, all these companies will not only have to pay for the milk going forward, they'll need to give back all the milk they took in the past. Once these 7 milk thieves pony up, the line for milk will be very long indeed and it won't be going for a penny....
That's exactly what I did. Sold a few at .028 to pay my tax bill, and bought them all back yesterday (and then some) at .0125!
Definitely not a pink-sheet anyway...
Great perspective! Those trips seem like so long ago now (and hopefully so far away now...) I, too, sold quite a bit down there, but no regrets here. Those flips helped me accumulate or fund other ventures. When this finally hits its potential, those "lost shares" will be like pennies in that little tray at 7-11.
Isn't that the "afternoon delight?"
And don't forget about breakfast, second breakfast, "eleven-sies" and afternoon tea!
Pretty soon, all the longs will be taking extended lunch breaks...the kind you need private jets for...
Oh yeah, forgot to add:
Online gaming is a $100 BILLION industry that Mr. Kay and co. may want to turn his sights onto...

Activision/Blizzard has a similar physical device (a mobile app is also available) to authenticate users on their World of Warcraft(WoW) servers using MFA/OOBA technology. At this point, I would propose that they are a MAJOR infringer of $SFOR's patents as well.
Battle.net Authenticator
Consider the following:
At one point, WoW had over 10 million subscribers at it's peak in 2008 (there are currently about half that number). This equated to generated revenue of over $150 MILLION PER MONTH, but that's just the tip of the iceberg...
https://www.engadget.com/2008/01/24/how-much-money-blizzard-is-really-making-from-10-million-subscri/
Hearthstone, their free-to-play(F2P) online card game which generates over $20 million PER MONTH in revenue, currently has over 50 MILLION SUBSCRIBERS.
https://www.gamespot.com/articles/hearthstone-now-earns-about-20-million-every-month/1100-6429654/
Heroes of the Storm, their F2P multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) which generates over $10 million PER MONTH in revenue, has over 9 million players.
https://venturebeat.com/2015/02/12/heroes-of-the-storm-could-make-10m-a-month-claims-an-analyst/
Blizzard has several other properties that utilize MFA/OOBA for authentication, that generates many more millions for them as well, including: Diablo, Starcraft, and Overwatch.
AAAAAND! Activision/Blizzard isn't the only powerhouse in the gaming industry to utilize MFA/OOBA. In fact, it's not even the biggest! VALVE uses it for authentication on their Steam gaming platform. In 2015, there were 125 MILLION REPORTED STEAM SUBSCRIBERS that generated over $1.5 BILLION in revenue.

With everyone here focused on MFA/OOBA infringement with business, banking, or productivity applications, let's not forget a major opportunity to leverage our patents in the gaming/entertainment idustry as well. Folks, I believe that in addition to all of the other catalysts that have been identified, this has the potential to vault $SFOR share price to DOLLARS in the very near future!
George, I'm not sure the people here (the ones that are up between 5,000 and 10,000 percent, anyway)would agree with your assessment.
Keyword=potential.
Sure this single deal might not amount to much, but what about the next deal? And the next? Shit adds up.
And SFOR's been shoveling for quite awhile now...
Ok, but it's not really important who Xfinity buys it from--someone is originally buying it from us. In this case, there are potentially 23.3 million Comcast customers that have a Strikeforce product on their system, and that is huge.
Me too! Here's to us laughing about this in a year as we drink mai tais somewhere warm and sunny!
You gotta see the forest for the trees. If you stay hyperfocused on "PPS is up today/down tomorrow" and you're just going to be disappointed every other day.
9.5
I don't know why you're replying to me as if I said otherwise...? Maybe you're confusing my post with someone else's?
Don't recall saying the judge could or would force a settlement...
My point isn't that it wouldn't be wise for the parties to settle. My point is that the settlement conference itself is intended to make that recommendation to them, and what they can expect otherwise if they elect to go to trial.
Along with everyone else here, save for ones that just like to hang around and bash all day, I hope you're right and we see settlement(s) soon, as I'm really looking forward to paying off my mortgages--I think the fact that there was an SC is a good indicator that we're close. But it is no means concrete news that anyone has decided to settle at this point in the game.
Didn't say it was the same, nor am I saying it is mandatory (a la, no SC prior to MS settlement). Most of us are in agreement that settlement is the LIKELY outcome here, but it is by no means a foregone conclusion.
A settlement conference is just a standard check in the block before proceeding to trial, which any of the defendants may still elect to do.
Just my 2 cents. Without news of actual settlement, everything is speculation
Haha!
Yeah, I guess. But would you worry too much about locking your car if no one wanted to steal it?
Well in only US markets, that share drops to about 66%. Still far and away the leader.

Lol way. Actually 86.2% as of August 2016.
