Only on a buyout will that happen. A settlement goes into the corporation, but the corporation will decide whether to dissolve or continue in operation. Also, the corporation will decide whether to offer a dividend from the settlement. A little birdie said that there is a strong interest in going after other infringers after a win and reinstating UOIP to the market. That is the best option for shareholders to make big bucks, as your shares will be worth much more with a large asset base with licensing revenue and future $$ settlements with other infringers.
