I didn't meant that it would make legal action impossible, but that it might affect the outcome. E.g.:

- You collect a super small licensing fee from one entity and are attempting to extract a super large settlement from another.

- You (provably in court) know that Apple is infringing, but only decide to pursue action against Microsoft. This could affect, for example, you damage claims (i.e. your claims that MS owes you 'back dated' licensing fees).
