Micek all but admits that his company has completely stopped writing software. His vague alusions to "improvements" financed by settlement monies already collected not withstanding, he speaks of virtually nothing but IP acquisition and the revenues from it. It's said "From the heart, the mouth speaks," and here it's implications are obvious. Micek's heart is in IP as a revenue model, and thus it will be his primary business plan moving forward, regardless of his assertions to the contrary.

If ever there was a more clear case of the patent system encouraging not increases in innovation, but rather ceasing it, I've not heard it.
