Scruffer's 10 stages of defendant's psychological mindset
1) Blow Off - Get the muck out of here 2) Deny - Don't worry, we're rejecting all claims 3) Delay - We'll file every type of legal challenge 4) Defend - You have nothing. --
5) Bargain - Confer with plaintiff's legal counsel 6) Anger - Is this really happening? Those <expletive goes here>! 7) Admit - Hickory, we have a problem (COMM's headquarters) <<< We are here --
8) Borrow - Get funds ready for the inevitable <<<<<< As well as, here too now 9) Negotiate - Haggle over terms of settlement 10) Conclude - Buy patents or license technology & pay royalties
Of course, some overlap and repeat depending on challenger (Comcast, RPX, Arris, Cisco, MSO 13 & COMM)
