Well - they don't have unlimited resources. It might be just some loose change the first time. Losing the lawsuit a couple of times wouldn't actually go unnoticed. Especially if they would appeal all of them two times.

Well they earn a lot of money from licensing their own patents and sometimes use them to sue (e.g. Apple vs HTC) others
