You`ve brought me out of lurk mode to try what others have failed.
Nowhere in any PTSC PR or other communication did they claim annual sales of over $200B. First, sale what? Second, what they were talking about was the size of the infringing market, i.e., the value of all annual sales by others whom PTSC thinks migfht be infringing. No, there is no way we could ever dream that they would pay PTSC/TPL the equivalent to the value of total sales - it would immediately put all those companies out of business. Why? Because it`s a ``total sales`` number. That number includes all costs associated with their sales (e.g., R&D, manufacturing, QA, logistics, payroll, employee benefits, facilities - everything, then profit on top of that). THAT is what that $260B number is about. Get it?!
Now do you see how ridiculous your posts on this subject are? Learn to read, learn to comprehend, learn to withhold posting until you`re sure what you`re talking about - PLEASE.
If you still don`t get....
These things I KNOW!
