RE: PatentGreetings and welcome to the board!
From what I understand about patent laws through my own DD and conversations with my lawyer who is also now a ONE shareholder, the patent is worldwide. It is easy to enforce infringement in North America but European and Asian infringement can be more difficult and costly.
01 Communique, will do their legal battles in the US with a US law firm, as they can work on a percentage basis of the win. 01 does not have huge pockets to pay lawyers so this will be their best course of action. My lawyer tells me, she believes the patent is very enforcable as the infringement is quite obvious(this is not her area of expertise but her husband is a judge).
As I have said in previous posts, I believe this inital PR of being granted the patent was the warning flare to all their competitors. They are playing it low key, inviting them to take a licencing approach while they get all their ducks in a row for their legal action.
IMO, competitors will be weighing out the costs of a legal battle, a licencing agreement or a take over during the next few weeks. I truly believe a competitor like Citrix who has the resources will buy them out and then go after all the other competitors in the courts who are infringing.
I hope I have helped answer your questions
Cheers to everyONE!!
