Interesting writeup on ZTE VRNG Case

"This is an example of a standard "Patent Infringement Letter" sent out by NPEs to inform manufacturers that the patent holder is asserting their rights, as explained in my previous post on the VHC message board (message #18020). VRNG has most likely identified a number of targets and there will indeed be more.
 
Normally companies do this under the radar and do not file 8-Ks or PRs. However in VRNG's case I suspect they are strategically making some noise to let the industry know they have arrived and that they mean business. ZTE is involved in disputes with other NPEs regarding standards essential telecom patents and my hunch is they aren't going to just roll over right away."
