RE: question on appeal processHi:
New to this board, but I've been monitoring the discussion for quite some time and own a few ONE shares.
There are some issues here that seem to be forgotten:
1. Someone posted the legal definition of infringement. In there, it says:
"If they were infringing with knowledge of your patent, you can get threetimes the monetary damages plus your attorneys' fees. If it wasn'twillful, a court can still find that they were infringing and they canstill be liable for damages for whatever financial harm they did to youby practicing the invention."
So, if Citrix' infringement isn't willful, ONE's damages will be limited to what they might have made if Citrix hadn't been competing. Even with triple, this seems to me to be a long stretch from the 20% of Citrix' revenue ($500M) that posters have been suggesting.
Comments?
2. Assuming that the patent is upheld on appeal, the next step is to prove that Citrix was actually infringing on the patent. A few days ago, someone posted a release where Citrix' CEO was quoted as saying that Citrix wasn't infringing on the ONE patent. So, that appears to be the next Citrix position.
So, its not yet a sure thing and I'm sure that the SP reflects that.
