"If EDIG could take merely $5 million per settlement but get all 180 this year, would it be worth it?

That's $900 million...think most of those companies would jump at a chance to get off the hook for a mere $5 million?"

Keep in mind, e.Digital has to compete in the market after they sell their tech, there is a balancing act needed. Too much at once could be bad.

I will say, they do have a special circumstance with the separate issues of a tiered process.

It really is amazing. IMO, the gate (tier 1, low hanging fruit) alone may be worth your mentioned thoughts....where, the tier 2 keeps them strong in a competitive market.

lol....I'm amazed at how this is laying out, and the test of tier 1, is as simple as they state.

They have now completed a round of settlement. That test is very telling. That itself says, that their paging methodologies(cache gate) are indifferent to status quo.

That is huge....and is what I have preached from day one when folks were concerned of how they would approach the task of proving infringement. I considered they would have to review the RAM resource physically. They simply start the process in front of a potential with the test. If the test is incriminating, at that point they say, "should we open the case?"

They have more than anyone could ask for.
