Where did we find out the attorney was being paid in stock? I remember seeing a press release that said GIFT had completed a private placement to show their abiltiy to continue to litigate this matter. Presumably, this means somebody is getting cash, or cash and stock.

Also, I think companies could be required to fulfill their license agreement, even if one court declares the patent invalid. A license agreement is an enforceable contract, so the terms of the agreement would control. To be refundable the terms would have to allow for the previously paid $$ to be refunded, and allow for termination upon such court action. This is fair because these companies could fight instead of paying, and since they chose to treat the patent as valid, they should be bound to the terms of their agreement. (one year - big deal)
