So as only Loop could state so elegantly, in response to the newest 'fly' in the pile (over on another board) that we know as IDCC, this is a repost for posterity in case the delete police intervene. THANKS Loop - you 'once' again nailed it imho!!
"You should expect IDCC and its lawyers to seek any remedies available to them. This is not the first time a respondent or defendant has sold a portion of its assets that have been accused of wrongdoing. If the patent claims are infringed and found to be SEP's, then MSFT cannot wire around products designed and made by the facilities they purchased. Further, they cannot avoid bans by simply changing the name of the subject goods being imported and placed into commerce in the USA.
A guy like you that has so many questions should hire a lawyer on retainer in order for you to make it through each day. In the alternative, adopt a homeless child who can read the materials presented to you so you can come up with your own answers. You can help the child and he can help you. You should feel much better about yourself and your confidence level should soar with your new knowledge base. People really like happy endings.
