You forget to factor in that the companies have been infringing longer also, so it might be they would need to pay more.

Assuming that Greenshift wins the lawsuit outright (which rarely happens), there might not be many financial or other resources to transfer. Remember, the lawsuit was filed because Greenshift accused two dozen other companies of infringing on its' own issued patents. If Greenshift wins, no patents would change hands.

The "successful" lawsuits against U.S. tobacco companies didn't cause them to go out of business. Cigarettes are still available for sale at every convenience store and supermarket. The recent lawsuit against Johnson and Johnson. A little over a week ago, a hearing began that will continue this particular lawsuit.

Meanwhile, JNJ stock is doing well, with an increased dividend payout regularly during their long history as a corporation.
