big- Some not so good see below: The settlement absolves HTC of infringement allegations related to Patent 890 of the MMP portfolio, explains Jordan Sigale, director of IP at the law firm Dunlap Codding.
"As such, while the resolution frees Patriot up to spend more time licensing, and perhaps even suing, alleged infringers of the '336 patent, it resulted in a loss of rights under the '890 patent," Sigale told Tech Times in an interview.
An HTC spokesperson told Tech Times the company is in the process of preparing to issue a statement on the settlement.
Sigale says the settlement was spurred by two motivating factors: a failed appeal by HTC would have likely resulted in additional court fees and Patriot needed to settle the issue before its patent expired. If upheld by the appeals court, Patriot would have likely received payment for six years of back damages, according to Sigale.
From the above bolded it looks like PTSC/TPL will get the $960k settlement at most and not any other damages past 2011.
