Popt: Here we go. Finally...you opine, no facts included.
So, as is the case w/ all theory from the Big Bang to Evolution, none of it is proven. Can't say I'm surprised. What I am surprised about is the cat's finally out of the bag now.
Hey, we're all entitled to opinion and it's much more well received when it's stated as such and not stated as fact.
Now you opine that for over a YEAR MFR stripped Scambye of their exclusivity to their patents and why? Just to be able to sue clients of NeoMedia?
Well, isn't that special. Like I said in a post a couple days ago...nobody accused MFR of being reasonable. And, if this is the case, their not too smart either.
2.4. The Scanbuy sublicense to NeoMedia in this section is expressly conditioned upon Scanbuy fulfilling its obligations under the “Exclusive Patent License Agreement,” dated March 5, 2008, between Scanbuy and MFR, provided however that Scanbuy shall take no action to terminate the Exclusive Patent License Agreement solely in order to terminate the sublicense granted to NeoMedia herein. The sublicense to NeoMedia granted in this section shall subsist so long as Scanbuy has a license to MFR Licensed Patents.
So, even if things went down as you suggest, doesn't matter because we know that in September, AFTER NeoMedia terminated Scumbye's license agreement for a material breach of the agreement, MFR was in another(?) agreement w/ Scambye providing them their intellectual property, as their 9/30/13 PR on (cough cough) "educating the public" stated on how not to be them...patent trolls.
Leave it to Marshall, up to no good again.
But, if you read the last sentence of section 2.4 of the NeoMedia/Scanbuy Settlement and License Agreement, it really doens't matter if the agreement MFR has w/ Scumbye is exclusive or non-exclusive, is the same one still in force at time of the NeoMedia/Scanbuy agreement or a new license agreement signed between Scumbuy and Marshall because...
"The sublicense to NeoMedia granted in this section shall subsist so long as Scanbuy has a license to MFR Licensed Patents."
I hope this doesn't morph now into, that in the past five months the (new?) license agreement between Scambye and MFR somehow is no longer.
That would be ridiculous and yes, unreasonable.
That said, "desperate people do desperate things", as my mom always said. And, the one thing that stands out to me by MFR taking NeoMedia's clients to court w/ their frivolous lawsuits and the desperate sounding 9/30/13 joint PR w/ Scumbye on their laughable public service announcement, is that they AND Scambye are just that...very, very desperate.
Might it have something to do w/ some very positive developments that have been discussed here as real possibilities over the past six months may be closer to coming to fruition than we know?
Scambye and their Master, "Marshall the Troll" feeling like their about to be left out in the cold w/o a jacket, left to die a slow, painful death as QR codes embark on a whole new world-wide chapter of usage that we'll see for years and years to come?
"To the victor belong the spoils" and the loser gets none?
We've seen NeoMedia win MANY a battle and their patents have proven to be rock solid on both sides of the Atlantic. Scumbye and Marshall have been losers before and they may very be on the verge of being losers again. Sore losers, apparently.
This may be very well the reason why not only have we not seen the BIF in the wings swoop in yet but also the same reason why we have not seen YA send that email I've read you opine about in many a posts.
I think things will get very interesting, very SOON.
And, let no one doubt that Wendy's did their due diligence, and much of it, before signing their EXCLUSIVE agreement w/ NeoMedia. They knew and know very well both sides of this story and what side of history they want to be associated with.
