RE:Non event deja vu will happen again A clean exit from the patent business at a price point that is acceptable is almost a zero percent probability.
Shutting down the business would fully eliminate the patent business.
But retaining an interest in an entity and getting a revenue share agreement with a small down payment is better than nothing.
The problem is investors will penalize the lack of a clean exit. And that will wildly miss analyst expectations of what the patent trolling business is worth.
So it could be worse than a non event.
That is why they will drag it out until "conditions improve" and they follow "due process"
