AllBcase, THAT IS ONE FABULOUSLY WORDED, GREAT QUESTION!! I am dead serious! My answer: It is a question every person has to answer for themselves. For me, the question I ask myself, to counter the consideration of dilution is, will VPLM prevail? Obviously, I believe VPLM will prevail and if they do, the infringement damages are increasing at a far faster, proportional rate than the dilution. Others may argue that and that is fine.
The past year has seen a bit higher rate of dilution, than prior. That was due to the high cost of the two, full year++, PTAB trials vs aapl and ongoing prosecution. Some debt had built up/cash was low. Both issues have been corrected.
Again, a great question and I will use it in later explanations.
THANK YOU and hope my answer helped!!
