Because as many NPEs face when they ask people to pay, they get a "no we won't sue us" response.

This is called efficient infringement (look it up). Basically people infringe until forced to for the most part because a drag it out in court strategy is leverage financially vs the patent holders.

A smart NPE goes vs a big boy first since the NPE is going to incur legal costs regardless. At least get bang for their buck so to speak. Upside here is we are on contingency

Once a big boy pays that means patents are validated and others see the pointlessness of going to court so they are more willing to settle

That being said, with some claims through the ptab I would hope Kidrin is at least talking to other infringers now as we have some "validated" patents so to speak, and hopefully this could provide enough fear for others to settle.

I suspect until they see it through the CAFC no one would though unless the cost is very low which isn't good for us.

The cost of the CAFC has now been borne in the stock price

"Faux longs" who were apparently in the for the long haul and ok with risk clearly weren't in for the long haul because risk has actually decreased but time has slightly increased on the front end. Flippers out too

Thus if one sold its really only because one didn't want to wait not what should drive a patient investors decision - risk
