AirClic is an old rival of NEOM's. NEOM has been in the ring with them before and it all comes down to one thing: patent validation and enforcement, which is why the Virgin settlement (with public disclosure) maybe NEOM's most potent tool against them yet.
A number of us have said all along, it is better to work with NEOM than against them for many practical reasons. There will be an abundance of wealth created in this new market niche and plenty to go around as well. Whats the old saying? "We can do together what we could not do alone."
I for one am all for partnering and licensing rather than court litigation.
BP&G are over the top when it comes down to intensive patent litigation. They are well versed, well connected, savy and are a very capable contender in the judicial arena.
