Court gave us projected WIN Apple IMO would not engage settlement until Federal court oral arguments. Apple in my opinion threw a hail mary at court to defeat infringement and Judges only seemed content to discuss damages and settlement. .Lampton cross-appeal was not argued as its merits would have difficult to argue against.
As a result I see four possible scenarios:
1. Damage claims in second case of $ 109 confirmed by court PLUS POST AMOUNTS.
2. Court grants cross-appeal damage claim back to original .85 cents.
3. WILAN AND APPLE SETTLE. ( Somewhere between .45 and .85
4. Court imposes decision on settlement.
I personally can live with any of the above. Apple just write us cheque for 200 million plus(109 award) or settlement amount.
ALL IS GOOD AND END IN SIGHT..
