If royalties are agreed to be paid then the cash payment itself will probably not be too overbearing so as to not ruin Entrust and jeopardize the royalties down the road. This could set the precedent for the rest of the infringers. The immediate, less substantial cash payments will allow for our team to fully pursue the domino effect without the bashers ever getting the chance to complain about who is paying Blank Rome's check in the interims between wins. All the while, royalties will continue to be set up and collected which will only serve to make the company an even greater buyout opportunity for larger firms.
If no royalties are in the deal then expect a significantly larger cash payment into SFOR's Victory Vault. This could be to fully fill up the war chest before taking down all the rest with the intention of obtaining less cash outright from them, but more in the long run through more lucrative royalty deals. Otherwise, just getting the highest number possible for this lawsuit in outright cash obtained by payment would make the story that much more palatable to prospective buyers. Win big on the first one to get the name out there and draw everyone's attention in, and then start winning more to trigger the feeding frenzy.
Both strategies are viable, but in the end it won't matter because a buyout has been Mr. Kay's goal for a good little while now, and that is exactly what this all builds towards.
