It is not and it was never about protecting intellectual
property. It is about the exploitation of intellectual property
to earn money.

So if you can get them convicted throughout all appeals, the rest
will not resist too much. Why do you think everybody always goes
after Amazon, eBay, Google etc? Because they are market leaders
with deep pockets to pay defence lawyers. So if they can't win in
court, the small fry won't even try.

I don't really care if they are going to license the technology
or not, but continuing to sell products with that technology
without licensing that technology does raise the stakes.
