Gene: If it can be proven that you did not take the steps to protect your IP franchise, then the validity of the claims in your patent(s) are weakened, or even invalidated. Signing licensing agreements, even if they "give away" fees on past shipments, does not equate with non-protection. Simply trying to get people to negotiate licensing agreements is consistent with protecting your franchise, even if the terms you are demanding are inconsistent from one party to another. This latter scenario that you have raised is more subject to unfair trade practices litigation than it is to IP law. Wanton neglect of your franchise includes ignoring infringers, delay in responding to the USPO, not applying for sufficient coverage (and that one is debatable), etc. BP
