The Claimant is a non-practicing entity with no operational business. Its business model appears to be based solely on revenues expected from patent litigation. The Claimant owns no other assets other than the patents used in multiple worldwide litigations and it has failed to substantially challenge these reasons and facts.

The only argument provided by the Claimant was a list of patents validated in Europe. However, no information on the value of these patents was provided.
