Annnnnnnnnnd......

7 settled with a one shot of cash plus XLA's (might have been 6 of 7 XLA's?), 2 have now settled with royalties, until the patents expire or some other time frame,and the patents are not valid? Ya right.....

IMO, something is developing here. Could it be DM/EDIG are giving the "option" for a one time settlement fee of 7 figure $ amounts of X, or a smaller 7 figure or less, and the balance paid by royalties for X years...even past the patent expirations, to achieve or even exceed, the original 7 figure demand? A friendly payment plan of sorts?

Lets face it, if a company sold 5 mln widgets using our patent, agree to pay us X up front for past use, but not to the extent the value completely pays us, and we say, you can pay us 25 cents/device for the next 6 years, and they sell several mln more than 5, we'd be getting a bigger piece of the pie...just a wild thought on my part, but what if?

RP did says at the SHM, "here may be some surprises in these 19."

Well, keep surprising me!!!!!!!
