"We never anticipated how much time money and resources the fight against Google would take"
This is because management is terrible at their job. Anyone with half a brain would have:
1. Discovered Google has effectively unlimited funds to defend lawsuits 2. Discovered Google's reputation for never settling nuisance lawsuits (They spend more to defend & win than to settle) 3. Ensured MAXD had standing to sue before suing
Halpern virtually always loses his court cases. Good luck with that changing after his decade of failures.
Perhaps you could ask the CFO to 'spell out' what exactly MAXD gets if Attia wins his lawsuit. MAXD refuses to specify that. I wonder what the CFO is hiding...
“We feel the legal tides may be changing in our favour, and we believe a victorious outcome will make it worthwhile for our shareholders”
