The first 2 Fiscal Years (2005 & 2006) of MMP licensing brought in $83M from 5 Licenses.
The next Fiscal Year (2007) brought in $110.8M from 14 Licenses.
It took 3 more Fiscal Years (2008-2010) to bring in the next $103M and that took 55 Licenses to get.
Since then, there's been at least 26 licenses signed, but for only $28M or so.
We've had to battle through re-exam after re-exam, infringer after infringer, and so many head-shakingly incomprehensible self inflicted wounds like partnership fraud, lousy stewardship, battles with the inventors, etc. etc. etc.
In the end, while pretty bruised, the MMP is still standing and able to answer the bell for the 12th round. This should be the championship fight that shows the 2005-2006 EARLY MMP successes are the the benchmark from which to build, rather than the last 3 years.
If I see a press release from our side indicating that Amazon, ACER and the Data Logic have brought in $60M to PDS, then, I won't complain too much. If it's followed by a PR saying we've settled with HTC for $100M, then I'll consider that a business decision that would be hard to question from the outside. However, if we find out all of these guys settle, and we get another J3 settlement era type 10q with a relatively paltry $27M revenue line under licenses, then, well......
Bottom line, it's time to fight to the death, or at least to an infringers' order of magnitude paradigm shifting settlement amount. Anything less will be fiduciarily irresponsible of our BOD to shareholders of PTSC, IMO.
