Do NOT think defense wants a jury verdict, but Billy may: - Treble, triple, 3x damages - Information made public - An NDA is mostly for the GRAND TOTAL of settlement $'s paid: >> They won't want this to be revealed--How embarrassing >> RPX, CommScope (Arris), Cisco, OEMs, CableLabs, Comcast, etc. screwed-up >> For example, Cisco may pay $1B (and may footnote it or pay to CableLabs) >> CableLabs and their members, being a non-profit lab, will not want to reveal what contributes from its members. >> CommScope may contribute $2B >> Comcast may contribute $2B >> Charter may contribute $1B, etc. >> (The MSO's should contribute based on cable modem market share). >> And then there are the private cable companies.
Also, Carter may just pay legal fees out of settlement. And may include a higher asking settlement price for the legal bills.
And with a trial comes appeals.
Like I wrote, I think it is the defenses, (the collective infringers), best move.
