Agree with all you say, but fairly doesn't answer msl2008's question (probably not answerable considering how discretely management is playing this). I too have little experience with this type of company and wonder, with the rush of settlements we've seen, whether that suggests one of two scenarios:

1. The easy settlements come early. Subsequent settlements will be hard fought and may require litigation. Scenario #1 = portfolios become harder to license with time;

2. The rush of settlements shows that the relevant community recognizes and respects the underlying patents, suggesting to potential licensees that colleagues feel that litigation would not be productive. Scenario #2 = portfolios become easier to license with time/settlements.

Of course, msl2008 already posted the third scenario. Anyone have relevant experience to share as to which scenario is the more likely as a licensing campaign is initiated? Looking for experience, not speculation as we can all do the latter quite well on our own.

Thanks. Love this board.
