My take on the Apple / Nokia settlement / SC ruling on i4i

posted on Jun 14, 2011 02:32PM

This idea was presented on another board about another tech stock. I agree with this idea and believe it applies to our situation with EDIG as well:

The settlement was a blend of cash and future revenues from licensing. I believe the timing of the Apple/Nokia settlement is a direct result of the Supreme Court's decision on i4i vs Microsoft. The decision removed a major obstacle for IP patent litigants like *** as infringers were hoping the SC would lower the burden of proof. I expect many IP infringment cases will be negotiated and settled as a result of this ruling. Bring your checkbooks.
