Rembrandt is different than e.Digital in that they intend to go the distance to prove infringement and get as large an award as possible. They don't file bad-faith shake-down suits against dozens of defendants looking for quick less-than nuisance value settlements like e.Digital and Handal are doing. They also don't always win.

Both Rembrandt and e.Digital are PAE/NPE/patent trolls -- they just have very different approaches. Clearly Rembrandt is selective and only files suits they think they can win at trial whereas e.Digital's recent CA suits have taken the route of Eon-Net by filing suits many suits across diverse clients solely to extract licensing fees that are far cheaper than even beginning to defend the case. Eon-Net letter found out how bad that can turn out with Flagstar Bancorp didn't go the quick and easy license fee route most of the other defendants chose.
