The tremendous strength of Strikeforce' patents is well chronicled. Having won a complete and rare October 2017 PTAB patent review which exonerated over 50 SFOR claims based on the victorious decision of the United States Patent Trial and Review Board (PTAB) as well as the April 2018 Supreme Court ruling that stated that the US PTAB has the Constitutional right to validate or invalidate patents, SFOR's victory has essentially already been decided. The judgement to invalidate SFOR's patents by the District Court without a reason or review stated or documented in the final judegement of the case will be quickly overturned.
No wonder Mark Kay stated in June 2018 that "we're close to winning all of our current lawsuits" at the City Blockchain conference in Los Angeles.
The fact that Ropes and Gray involved 11 of their own attorneys in the Appeal is incredible and speaks to the tremendous future they see with Strikeforce.
This commentary on the strength of SFOR's utility patents doesn't include the documented contingency representation of Blank Rome, who represented SFOR in the 2016 Microsoft lawsuit settlement for $9.75 million. They continue to represent SFOR in other ongoing lawsuits as well.
