I really enjoyed this post that you did over on Yahoo...

I agree, Vincent. In the original filing, case # (ending in 666) HDC's attorneys claimed and identified a number of infringing products which they obtained directly from Intel's own publications, where Intel had proudly advertised how SVM-RFE cutting edge technology was being used in certain of their products. This alone should have been sufficient incriminating evidence for any court to convict Intel of infringement. Intel NEVER denied it. Their sole strategy was to try to invalidate HDC's patent. It would have been easy enough to determine how many of each infringing products were sold by Intel at Discovery. A total of $2.25 million spanning over a ten year period seems inconceivably low, as that would only average out to $225 thousand per year for all infringing products combined! We know that Intel was raking in $ billions per year during this time. They reported $54 billion in revenue for the past 12 months! A reasonable settlement should have equaled (at minimum) the dollar amount that Intel would have been reasonably expected to pay HDC in ongoing licensing fees, but recalculated to include interest and adjustments for inflation. We know that a much smaller company, Neogenomics, paid HDC over $6 million in licensing fees for far less usage.
