I'll add that with patents the holder can't really claim they are owed a bunch of money because X-number of units sold (at a low price) and that the tech is worth Y-dollars, and therefore X times Y = Bazilion in damages. .. well, they do claim that math, and courts typically say, ah, no. You are vastly over-estimating how many units would be sold would the product have been tagged with that higher price.

Which brings up another Q. The reseller is responsible for how much of that? Certainly the manufacturer carries the biggest burden. oh wait, they are in China. That is too much work for lawyers... so sue everyone stateside. for a patent held by a publicly funded school.
