They might view the nature of their liability differently than that... and I expect they may have good reason.
The easiest thing in the world for them, thus far, has been to just wait, and continue the low level legal effort that I've noted seems it is little more so far than going through the motions... as, thus far, the biggest risk to CLYW's success has been that which has been imposed on CLYW in the form of basic survival and obvious operational risks...
T-Mobile wins if CLYW doesn't survive, or hold together long enough to prosecute the case against them... or keep its act together in the process of prosecuting the case against them... etc.
It seems that until recently they may have had pretty good reasons to expect that one, some, or all of those risks might be realized... making CLYW not much of a risk to them.
I note that the risks we see that have been postured so far by Williamson and Daic et al and their "self" dealing have all been exactly risks of that very sort... posturing basic company survival risks and basic operational obstructions that appear clearly designed to try to prevent CLYW from surviving, or succeeding, or that appear they otherwise and in addition intend to help enable or directly facilitate an direct attack of one sort or another on the basic validity of the patent itself... or on the CLYW ability to have it applied...
Delaying tactics in many and various forms have obviously been a part of that effort... and it seems clear that there is purpose in persistence of effort even in spite of the broad exposure of the nature of the effort made ..
T-Mobile's primary assertion of a defense until recently was more or less wholly based on the assertions of Williamson and Daic et al that appear to have quite purposefully created an issue re the ownership of the patent... that enabled T-Mobile to challenge CLYW standing... but not only that...
T-Mobile's PASSIVE effort in defense is still mostly one that seems intent on exercising patience and expending a minimum of effort, while expecting (?) that the CLYW effort will find a way to not succeed "of its own", given the efforts being made to facilitate exactly that end...
Particularly considering the parallel in the nature of that effort, and in the nature in the origin of that claimed interest that has been used to enable that effort...
I challenge you... or any here... to come up with any wholly rational explanation that shows who, or how ANYONE benefits from doing all that we have seen done here... in the way it was done... other than T-Mobile ???
Note, I'm not saying there aren't any rational explanations for that behavior... with more than one alternative, even... rather than pointing out that there are...
Williamson and Daic have, thus far, at least until now, been fairly successful in converting CLYW into a what has looked like it is a fairly "cooperative target" in regard to T-Mobile...
patent validity risks originating only from their efforts...
patent ownership risks clearly created by them and postured in ways that obviously aren't in their own interest...
primary company survival risks...
primary company function and operational obstructions...
company patent prosecution effort obstructions...
While I don't for a second deny that the effort that has been made is criminal... that still leaves you needing to parse what the motivation behind the efforts we see ARE...
Either Williamson is the stupidest lawyer in Texas... and Daic is the stupidest criminal ever...
