2 & 3 are Google establishing good faith. Not their first time in court.
4 - worth noting that they are also taking another look at USPTO before this.
5 - Hampered by the pandemic... Was the tech industry hampered by the pandemic? Quite the opposite. That doesn't mean the numbers wont be better but it will not be because they are out from the pandemic. When the pandemic effect wears off, revenue will go down at least a LITTLE.
I really like those chances as the chip shortage continues, as the Cloud Platform demands go up, and as these settlements get closer to the day of reckoning. The $NLST elephant is getting harder and harder to push.
This is funny. Show me the transcript of the conference since you’re quoting what was and wasn’t said. An offer by Google could be no offer at all or just a measly couple hundred thousand to avoid costly trial fees. If you think sales were hindered in a tech company because of the pandemic then you’re mistaken. Techs soared as there were shortages in supplies for computers- I guess it’s just that nobody wanted this outdated junk.
