Blackbird's founders both came from large (>1000 employee firms), and likely know all the tricks. Cloudflare mentions "outside patent counsel"

Any idea who are the Cloudfare outside attorneys?

Do not mistake employment in big law for infallible expertise. I deal with exactly this on a daily basis - patent litigation, IPRs, counter IPRs, NPEs, PEs. Regardless of their background, they do not want their assets facing IPRs. IPRs introduce delays, invalidity risks, and costs.
