RE:Disastrous!! This is the way Apple wanted it. They are sending a message to every other patent troll that wants to take a bite.
You want Apple to pay? You need to spend $100 million over 10 years to get $50 million back. You need to wage a battle in multiple countries. You need to beat us with three different juries.
And even if you sign us to an agreement, you must cease to exist... you must destroy your troll operations and take this revolver with two bullets and shoot your vice chair first and then the chair has to use the last one on himself. And anything that we may pay to you is blended into your exit price. Shareholders are left in the dark.
This is what Apple wanted for a signature. And with the quarterly results and cash burn there was no other option.
Shareholders always pay the price. The market has spoken.
