RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:I’m sorry… we lost Apple… I sold out. New trial Let's also be clear that we're on the list of things that I predicted that have already come true...
- blackberry patent sale failure
- new risk showed up on in the financial statements regarding Ukraine exposure
- litigation losses leading to payments to defendants (Vizio and Sharp)
Also, before you get too horny over a big WiLan patent sale, read some facts about the market. This market is DEAD. The market for patent sales was $160 million in 2021. There are $30 Billion worth of patents CURRENTLY for sale.
Think about that for a second. WiLan has to compete with $30 Billion of patents available for sale. And only $160 million sell in a year. That's right. Only 0.5% of products sell per year. Or put another way, there is 200 years of patent inventory for sale!!!
Why does anyone think that WiLan's Chaff is the best thing out there?
