I personally communicated, by registered mail, with a major comm company that needed to buy our patent in order to continue in the industry. No response. My impression is that until now infringers have felt that it's cheaper to continue to steal our technology and perhaps pay down the road than to simply license or buy it now. Winning the Markman would be great but that would only give us standing to pursue TM and other infringers. IN TM's case, the chance of being hit with treble damages because of the paper trail of their theft is more likely to result in some sort of settlement in the near future.
