Actually the multi-million dollar cost of litigating in EDTX for defendants (it's cheap for plaintiffs) is usually more than the plaintiffs are asking for to settle. So defendants that expect to win big still have to settle and pay or they'll ruin their business. Most EDTX patent defendants have under $10MM in revenue. Trolls target small companies in these suits more often than large ones.
