"The company used $4.0 billion to repurchase 189 million shares of common stock."

EDIG could buy back 189 million shares for about 18 million...lol.

With a favorable Markman and the assumption it leads to settlements en mass, that should be at the top of the list for Falk to act on, essentially increasing shareholder value in a single act, greatly increasing our asset value, wiping out the years of the dilution they needed in order to stay afloat.

Considering none of the big companies came to the table under the revised, "raised bar" era, DM likely is asking for numbers well in excess of that level (18 mil), imo.
