Something to consider as well. Discovery aside, once the Google suit is done then NetList can hang a big, blinking, neon sign out that says "Abandon hope all who have infringed on our 912 patent." If Google couldn't win then there is no hope of a smaller fish winning. Why throw money into lawsuits when a smart company, that has infringed, will come wanting to settle on their own, when the dust settles?
Of course there is the premise that if they were smart they wouldn't have infringed in the first place. If that proves to be the case NLST will should have plenty of money and precedent to pursue.
