eDigital does not have to fully litigate a case to win a settlement.

No, your statement is false. Settlements are NOT "won" in court. They are simply an agreement between the defendant and the plaintiff to dispose of the lawsuit. Nuisance value settlements (especially those that are FAR less than nuisance value such as those in the e.Digital California-filed lawsuits) prove nothing about the legitimacy of infringement claims.

Defendants agreeing to settle lawsuits for FAR less than nuisance value do not equate to "winning law suits against those who have infringed" as you claimed in your post.

Many journalists and public officials consider the patent troll strategy of filing frivolous lawsuits and then offering to settle them for less than the cost of mounting a defense to be "patent extortion."

e.Digial's patent extortion business model may keep the doors open employing Fred Falk with a nice salary and perks as well as provide a very reliable revenue stream for Handal & Associates, but it is providing no benefit to EDIG shareholders.
