Yes, but I do think a win at trial and award helps to soften up the negotiating position of the cable cos. What jury isn't going to believe that Comcast and Friends didn't cheat these poor little inventors out of their licensing fees/royalties? There's no way a large jury award doesn't get a day or two of massive publicity as well - WSJ, WAPO, NYT - the PHILLY. That will create a lot of negative publicity for Comcast and others. Guess what- then State AGs reading headlines will renew looking at billing practices and cheating of customers. Expect another rash of consumer protection filings against cable cos.
Appeals are to be expected, but...
As the clock ticks down and past Oct 2020, Carter's position will also move closer to aligning at some numerical position X with the cable cos or modem makers.
Today's news was certainly way better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick.
