I hate to be the one to point this out. The next ruling from the Court could be (not sure how likely, but pretty likely) an order to the parties to try and negotiate a settlement. In VHC v. Apple it was 45 days. These periods of negotiation seldom work. The Court then sets a RR after the negotiation fails, if it does. The are upsides to this, however. If there is a settlement, there are no appeals, and no waiting for payment. Also, if there is no negotiated settlement, then 7% of AT LEAST the 20.9 % base is virtually guaranteed. But hats off to the Seeking Alpha article today that at least led me to remember this fact and do the research I was able to do. And remember MSFT could settle at any time.
