Remember how the defense was upset because Roger Cook and company were asking for Sales documents and design schematics going "decades" back (to use the exact word defendants used)?

Remember how the defense was upset because Roger wouldn't "tell" the the Amount of money he wanted for settlement?

Remember how Roger said he couldn't accurately come up with a "number" until he received all the Sales documents and design schematics going "decades" back?

And for those who have looked at the TT&C web site:

Remember how it was Roger Cook that got a $1.5 BILLION dollar settlement against Microsoft in a class action law suit?

Remember how David Pohl (or was it JT) said that the MMP was like WATER?

So, considering all the above that we DO know, IMO Roger Cook and company are not going to settle for a small amount of money at this point.

IMO..........No Way.  From the TT&C web site:

Over the past eight years, Mr. Cook successfully defended more than eight major patent infringement lawsuits involving semiconductor device and process technology, involving more than 35 different patents and aggregate royalty damages claims exceeding several billion dollars. Four of these cases were in so-called "rocket docket" jurisdictions where the cases go to trial within about eight months from filing.

Just using the above numbers of 2 Billion divided by 8 cases and you get $250 Million dollars per company.

Roger has called "our" case "A Patent Litagators Dream".......OUR Case, not the 8 cases listed above. 

Just connecting the dots here. Of course I will be very happy to hear the words WE Settled.........but I agree with Milestone that at this point and considering all of the above...........we are NOT settling for just a little more than we got from Fujitsu 2 years ago.

Also of importance for those that don't realize it, Roger Cook is the one who set up the First Mover Discount program.........not TPL.

There is a "strategy" at play here and Roger Cook is, at this point in time, not going to "give" the J's a nice big discount. Two years TOO late. IMHO.

Thanks for listening to my theories.  I would say that I think this is a No Brainer but I don't want to be accused of being Irresponsible. :-)
