Zerify Inc (ZRFY)

[dukeb]

All very true. And it's unfortunate that a patent is only as good as the owner's ability to defend it.

But somehow ZRFY (then SFOR) was able to engage two of the most experienced patent firms in the U.S.A. and they still have a liability on the books that financed at least part of that effort. IIRC Microsoft was the only company to pay up and that was likely just to avoid the cost of a protracted legal battle.

That the company came up short suggests that the patents were not strong and/or the tech was not being infringed.

And the point you make about the company turning into an ATM for Mark, George and Ram has been made repeatedly. Mark gave up any sense of decency that he may have had and decided to take shareholders for a ride.

That will be his legacy.
