what is interesting, is that many articles have reported that Acacia was building up its war chest with licensee money in order to help fund their efforts going forward...
but, there are supposed provisions in the license agreements that state something like if the patent is found to be invalid, then they have to return the money.
So any license money they receive most likely needs to sit in escrow somewhere.. and maybe they will use the interest from the money to fund their efforts, rather than the actual money collected.
being a public company who has already been battered by V-chip failure, having to lose this patent track would certainly add "failure" to their list of options.
Fight the Patent!
