Just to inject a little reality into this topic:
1) In the history of patent infringement disputes, very few actual jury awards have come in the range quoted above. The number of agreed upon settlements that are $700 million or greater are almost non-existent.
2) the monetary damages awarded by the jury was somewhere around $32 million, give or take.
3) Less than $16 million of the total award was directly attributed to Google.
4) Companies do not willingly settle patent infringement disputes post-verdict to the tune of 20 or 40 or 50 or 100 times the amount of the jury award.
I realize there is more involved here than past damages (which have been severely crippled by the Laches ruling). There is a potential royalty rate and a few years of revenue to recover. And that's why I believe a realistic settlement number, IF there is a settlement, would be somewhere around $75 - $125 million.
