These are the issues at play:
Bungie settlement, the issues at play would be
1- how much cash upfront
2- % of licensing
3- length of time for licensing
4- what will they willing give up from internal paperwork against ATVI
5- Will they testify in boston
6- Will they fight a rule 45 subpoena from a boston district court to CA
7- What will the on the record with the PTAB withdrawing say
8- Does NETEASE have any say in these proceedings.
NETEASE
1- What does the contract with them and bungie ask for legally
2- Does bungie have to shield NETEASE in this settlement
3- Does netease in order to sign off on the settlement require a shield
4- CAN netease forestall this
Boston:
1- We have 6 claims minimum that ATVI OR BUNGIE can do nothing about
2- Will Casper if need be sign off on a rule 45 subpoena for Bungie in C.A
3- How much would Casper allow to be asked for from bungie
4- Will casper shedule us before summer
5- Will ATVI citing prior privacy allow bungie or bungie files to be used
6- will the subpoena be duces tecum or testificum papers or testimony
CA - California
1- Will a district judge allow the full weight of a rule 45 civil subpoena to be issued - normally yes. Will Bungie fight it.. see above settlement
ATVI
1- Will ATVI try to block any rule 45 subpoena request under civil privacy clauses in a contract.
2- Will ATVI start a round against bungie of depositions if there is now bad blood.
3- Will ATVI enjoin bungie in the boston case citing them now as the real party that has now been involved and muddied the waters as providing evidence against them and by settlement with WDDD becomes party.
4- Will ATVI or has ATVI offered or will they VERY VERY shortly decide to now handle the further proceedings by contract for WDDD v Bungie in any matter - doubt it but ive seen worse motions.
5- Will ATVI,could ATVI immediately in light of the destiny and WDDD issues, shareholder suits now coming in, decide to sue Bungie and therfor ask for the cases to be be consolidated, in either CA or boston...?
PTAB
1- Will the PTAB follow the procedures now in place.
2- Will the ptab allow of the three IPS allow only those IPRS to move forward and allow only those claims back

6- Then the case if it gets to that depending on what bungie provides
3 weeks
7- Deliberations
8- Set aside requested by ATVI asking for review by judge.
9- Appeal by ATVI 1 YEAR
Above at worse case.
Buy out -
Once ATVI is positive that the PTAB, THE CAFC, COURTS, and ALL PAPERWORKS FROM BUNGIE HAS BEEN REVIEWED, RE REVIEWED AND SOLID VERY WELL MAY BUY OUT PATENT PORTFOLIO FOR X $
Bungie is in the BEST and WORSE case scenario here
1- Worse = They don't have 500 mill to just cut a check for, they may have to give to WDDD here just like they did with NETEASE % say a 5.1% non dilutable shares and a seat on the board just to be sure, nobody forgets something when using the calculators...
% of time to pay off the monetary, and the length of time to pay a licence fee.
2- Best case for bungie, they have all the paperwork, correspondence, evidence we need to slay ATVI. they have it and we need it, WE WILL GET IT... its just will they hand it over now to 60 days or will it take 6 to 8 months once back in boston for the subpoenas to start flying
As a side NOTE
ATVI is under tremendous pressure right now. They could make a splash buy buying out or better yet saving the court time, attorney fees and BAD, REALLY REALLY BAD PRESS buy licencing the patents from us for ten years... for say $500 million, with licencing back pay of say 2% from 1996 to 2019 TK gets aseat on each board, ATVI with a added salary he deserves and Bungie as well... And then we go after the 98% of the rest of the field DIS, MICRO, EA, ETC ETC ETC PLUS
PLUS and you may like this....
ANY foreign games that go through any US servers to be played.
STARTING WITH 2019 any settlement brings in enough that even if you forget any special dividends... revenue.. so

2020 ATVI 10 years of licensing exhausts 2030
2021 DISNEY 10 YEARS exhausts 2031
2022 MS 10 YEARS exhausts in 2032...
EPS FOR 10 TO 20 YEARS or more folks...
typing fast, still in pain, forgive the typos...
anyway feel free to take it apart, could be off on some, closer on others, more than hopeful of most...
