We will see - but as I stated if Chanbond receives a settlement which would be a travesty as they are worthless patent trolls. If a company isn't using a patent to provide a product or service their complaint should be Summary judgement against the patent trolls.
RPX didn't have Article III standing - so what you call a victory was actually meaningless.
The most recent Supreme Court decisions have been against the patent trolls.
"The Supreme Court on Tuesday upheld the constitutionality of a procedure that makes it easier to challenge questionable patents.
The procedure, created by Congress in 2011, resembles a trial in federal court, but is conducted by an executive-branch agency. Supporters say it helps combat “patent trolls,” or companies that obtain patents not to use them but to demand royalties and sue for damages."
"The Supreme Court last week struck a blow to patent owners who made a living off threatening others with frivolous litigation by loosening the standard for the prevailing party to collect legal fees. Patent owners that do not sell products or services, but earn or try to earn the majority of their income by enforcing their patents through frivolous litigation are commonly known as “Non-practicing entities” (NPEs) or “Patent Trolls.” For years, some NPEs would buy patents for the sole purpose of using their new ownership rights against corporations by demanding licensing fees, or litigation.

"Patent Trolls in Texas Take Another Hit

In 2016, Marshall, Texas with a population of only 24,000, was home to an astonishing 25 percent of all patent filings in the U.S. In May of 2017, however, the Supreme Court ruled unanimously in TC Heartland v. Kraft Foods that plaintiffs can’t forum shop to find a friendly court. Instead patent plaintiffs must file in districts where the company being sued is incorporated or where it has an established place of business."
