Intellectual Property protection is the only way for a company to "Own" a technology. Otherwise, you could buy 1 of their devices and freely copy the design and functionality.
Patents are given a very thorough investigation before the patent is awarded.
My thinking is that the legal team that withdrew the infringement case doesn't have the technical knowledge to defend the patent. They will sue again after coming up with a defense to the objections if the case has any value.
It is very expensive to chase the patent offenders. Both sides must have deep pockets to stay in the game.
Our ITC case has some teeth. The patents are the basic design of how 3G works. It is applicable to every phone that still uses 3G worldwide. It only makes sense to sue where you can receive the most money first to set a precedence. Apple was a good choice and will lose the case (my prediction). They were even paying the license fees to Panasonic at one time for these same patents. Involving the ITC was a good tactic as Apple cannot appeal their decision and will need to pay up or buy out INVT. We will know something 1st Quarter 2020.
Mostly my opinion.....
I am long and am planning to hold for the results next year.
