Voip Pal Com Inc (VPLM)

[nyt]

In my opinion, that's a dumb strategy, whereby IF a company believes the patents are "ALL THAT", they would never allow their competitors to snatch the patents out from under them. Remember...these patents were said to be the total control of Voip, worldwide & that ALL other Voip service providers were in violation & that there was NO WAY AROUND THAT FACT! and that the patents were necessary for Voip services to continue. And were worth billions & billions. Any company that believed then, that they indeed were infringing, would be playing Russian roulette to not do SOMETHING to protect themselves from the INEVITABLE incoming meteors w/THEIR name on it. But the reality IS and HAS BEEN that neither threats, nor years, nor lawyers, nor judges nor courts, nor damages, nor triple damages, nor threats to greatly raise the damages models, nor the fact that vplm has been able to, contrary to the past popular opinion, keep on keepin on year after year after year. NONE of that produced any patent purchases, nor licenses, nor partnerships, nor any sign of weakness or worry from any of the accused companies. Zip, nada, nothing. And that is true to this day, even tho some trials are moving fwd & discovery seems to get closer & closer... That speaks volumes.
