I would venture to guess that Monitronice wants to incorporate Revo patents into their tech-knowledge base. By buying out Livewatch they now have all the rights in one package.
Livewatch will take the fall for their infringement of Revo's patents and will end up with stock in Monitronice's parent company ASCMA:US.
They either think REVO does not have a strong case or they simply are not worried about potential license fees they may have to pay in a few years when the cases are decided.
We will now be dealing with a much bigger fish in the courts tho that's for sure
