I'm not sure everyone pays the same attention to the obscure statements in the financial documents as you do. I believe that CPQ is using the patent portfolio as quid pro quo in negotiations with key partners like Oracle, Intel and MSFT to generate direct business benefit in terms of cross license, derivative rights and other arrangements which will give them an advantage in the marketplace.
