RE:Micron DealThe author, Angela Morris, sounds so pro-Micron. Almost like she must be employed by them.
Some of the reasons she gives for why the amount might have been whittled down make sense--like the finding that Wilan couldn't collect pre-suit damages (or on some or all non-US sales).
But elsewhere she makes it sound almost as if the settlement amount will have been directly proportional to the fraction of patent claims that survived IPR review. My understanding is that if you rely on 100 claims and 99 of them are kicked out in IPR, i.e., only one of them survives, you can still potentially end up getting the full amount you're seeking because the key patent was still infringed. Cabbie, wasn't the Apple case somewhat like that?
Of course we will get a read on the amount when Q4 is reported.
