If a new IPR is granted at the PTAB it could derail the case also. However, the case has passed prior IPRs and a new IPR should rely to a large degree on what was determined in the prior IPR. If an IPR went against WDDD it is also an appealable issue. The IPR is used as a tool by the infringer to slow or stop the patent enforcement process.
Any decision against WDDD, regarding the above mentioned issues, is not final as the issues are appealable. However, the appeals process adds months if not years to the case.
The real concern here is if new leadership at PTAB has a different outlook, which is very possible with a new administration in place. The PTAB became much more patent friendly under the prior administration but changes may be on the horizon.
As nice as it is to pursue big companies with deep pockets, there is always a concern that these companies use their huge profits and power to influence decisions or the patent landscape in general.
