How is the price settled upon? I mean, why ask $35k specifically? Why not 3.5k or 350k?

That's about what it costs to draft and file a 12(b)(6) motion to kill the patent at the start of a case for lack of subject matter eligibility under Alice v. CLS Bank.

$35K simply to file a statement that the patent is BS?

Well... That is saying like... 35k simply to design a logo and a website?

350k is too high a price to shake down from small companies. 3.5k won't recoup enough value.

The price is set "low" to make it more appealing to just settle rather than pay the lawyer and court costs.
