Very sad to see the industry NOT sticking together (and REALLY we do ourselves more harm than good to allow ourselves to be shaken down in such a way) as news reaches us that EnQii, Tiro, ADTI and Nanonation have allegedly all recently settled with Minkus.
We would have expected more of all of them but what with Brian Ardinger, senior vice-president and chief marketing officer of Nanonation AND the new DSA President [1] we would have expected more from the de facto leader of an industry association.
Poor show the lot of you. We expected more.

It’s not capitulation, it’s good business sense.
It’s just cheaper to settle than to fight it in court. Just a sad business reality brought on by the ongoing ridiculousness of US software patents. All software industries everywhere suffer from it, DOOH is no different.
If you want to rant about something, rant about software patents, not smart companies taking the path of least resistance.

What are they asking ? Or better, what formula/template is the fee based on?
