What settlement amount have you based your projected share price on? what multiple have you applied?
What other settlements have you factored into your assumption?

Seems there's a number of unexplained open ended factors.

Your math is wrong, if you even did any

- lawyers take 35%
- there is likely 10-20 mil sheltered or more from tax losses
- taxes will be lower than on the "remainder" as the cost to pay the lawyers is still an expense
- there are at LEAST three years of damages on numerous titles for atvi suggest you look up the data on those revenues
- there is also likely a tripling of those damages for wilful
- I suggest you look at what precedents in the software space tend to be for damages as a percent of revenues
- this ignores the high probability of the "broken patent chain" issue being corrected as the district court has stated they erred,
- I suggest you listen to the Markman hearing where atvi counsel stated this could cost atvi billions

Do the math and show it before you suggest others views are wrong

Oh and that ignores all the other gaming companies that will have to pay up of the patents are found valid. If you believe atvi is the only gaming company infringing no one can help you

It is sad you have such low regard for the inevitable. May I suggest you read the following.

35 U.S.C. 255 Certificate of correction of applicant’s mistake.
Whenever a mistake of a clerical or typographical nature, or of minor character, which was not the fault of the Patent and Trademark Office, appears in a patent and a showing has been made that such mistake occurred in good faith, the Director may, upon payment of the required fee, issue a certificate of correction, if the correction does not involve such changes in the patent as would constitute new matter or would require reexamination. Such patent, together with the certificate, shall have the same effect and operation in law on the trial of actions for causes thereafter arising as if the same had been originally issued in such corrected form.

What this means is the years lost can be tacked onto the end. Yes this will be traded with a multiple. Yes the enfringers will be paying for ten to fifteen years after this is settled. Use your brain and connect the dots. ATVI counsel stated in court their client could loose billions. You can Google that for yourself. The remaining companies may not be behemoths of the industry but if you combine their sales you will also be in the billions annually.

So even if there is no treble initially and the ruling is 6% of 2 billion you would be somewhere in the $3p/s range after legal fees, taxes, etc. Then use a multiple of your choosing. Then consider the ongoing royalties for ten to fifteen years.

After you consider the above please comment back to me with an intelligent rebuttal of fact that your current position has more merit than mine.
