RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:You're very quiet Cabbie...v_g, I see the probability of remand for a third jury trial as <1%. The possible damages range could be lower than the $0.45 from the first jury trial, but I doubt it. I think it will be between $0.45 and $0.85. The court spent a lot of time on apportionment and the fact that the comparable licenses that Wilan introduced at trial were portfolio licenses rather that straight forward 145/757 licenses, so I would lean towards a number below the midpoint, possibly well below. I also think that common sense might prevail on iPhones with Intel chipsets - or at least this portion being referred for a contract interpretation trial; but I think the overriding desire for this to be resolved without consuming any more district court time - so, I think the odds favor a decision from the CAFC on the Intel license issue. With non adjudicated iPhones still to be determined, although massively in WIlan's favor for iPhone 8 and iPhone X; iPhones 11 and newer might require separate handling.
Net, this was a positive day for Wilan imo. Status quo on the market's take on QTRH...it will recognize an Apple settlement when the money is in the bank, not before. Sad commentary on the smart market, but an opportunity for the dumbkoffs. It will be interesting if any of the analysts that cover QTRH publish a commentary note on Monday - it seems prudent to get legal input on the read beforehand.
Have a great weekend y'all.
