Thanks for highlighting Lexra, my first startup. After becoming a patent agent and strategist 15 years later, these are my takeaways.
1. Little companies don't sue big companies. No need. Startups exist because they have something new and move faster.
2. Big companies don't sue little companies. Too little money, it would look anticompetitive to the gov't, and most startups fail, anyway.
3. Medium companies sue little companies when they start taking away prime customers.
ARM sued Picoturbo and they settled. Lexra chose to fight MIPS. Lexra and MIPS hurt each other. That gave ARM the opportunity to dominate the industry.
