Cactus, they can remand for a 3rd trial and/or they can set the rate. On several occasions the court said they do not want a 3rd trial. So they will set the rate if Wilan and Apple cannot settle. However, this not their first choice; they said as much. A settlement is the court's preferred option. Depending on where the court's own thoughts are on royalty rate, they can easily signal to either or both parties, off the record. Just imagine if the court said to either party, "Please settle this; you don't want for us to rule." If anyone thinks these kinds of discussions don't take place, they're not in the real world. Just saying.
If we assume the court with set the rate... what is the range we are looking at? (say parameters are .45 to .85 for damages, with/without additional Iphones)
