Pop,
show me where NeoMedia is trying to invalidate another company's IP? Their case is all about defending their OWN IP from infringement. So, if as you say, there is a "circus" for some entity trying to invaliate another company's IP then the "circus" is ALL THE DOING of ScanBuy and the EFF, using your comments. And so far, EFF struck out, ScanBuy's chances look much much weaker as a result.

Also on your assumptions on legal expenses, ever heard of contingency? Show us where in the filings you see any documentation for NeoMedia's legal expense. (Do you understand how contingency fees work? from your post to JP, it doesn't seem like it.)

Thanks for your answer about not being a lawyer, did you know one of the people you are trying to argue about the law with IS a lawyer?:-)

If Scanbuy were the only company doing (or wanting to do) work with indirect encoding then you may be right. But this is a burgeoning industry that is about to take off in the US and Europe - the patent litigation with Scanbuy goes far, far beyond our relationship with them. The result of the case will have far-reaching consequences.

The ramifications this suit with Scanbuy are obvious and large. Why would you think that it is $1.8 million "to get one account"? It will get Neomedia a multitude of accounts if they win!

Poptech, I believe that we are fighting this case because of the unseen others on the sidelines who are watching. It is not about winning a nominal settlement with future commissions built in. It is about convincing others not to go the same route as Scanbuy. A win here is not about immediate term money, it is about defining the future playing field, and we can be sure that others are watching. JMO, the lawyers in the room would be much better qualified to give an opinion.
