The judge that is hearing our case already decided in UOIP/Chanbond's favor in the Markman hearing.
Markman hearings are important, since the court determines patent infringement cases by the interpretation of claims.
A Markman hearing may encourage settlement, since the judge's claim construction finding can indicate a likely outcome for the patent infringement case as a whole.
We also have the Patent Board who has decided in our favor for IPR's from CISCO and RPX. https://archive.is/lhgDu
After these devastating losses the cable companies would be looking for Settlement.
What can we expect in terms of a settlement and royalties ?
5 years of past infringement penalties
13 cable companies being sued
Plus royalties going forward
10 million per year for past infringement is very tiny but let's use that number anyway.
10 mil times 5 years times 13 cable companies
10 * 5 * 13 = 650 million
Plus add royalties
Based on the same tiny value of 10 million per year for 13 cable companies gives you 130 million of revenue per year as royalties.
As you can see the pps can literally jump to dollars.
