At the point that the court determines the damage from the infringement, they are not limited to the damages that have already accrued.
Ok - so then my point was that given:
a) the size of the damages (large)
b) the fact that WPI/A* do not have the cash to pay the above damages or even come close
c) the fact that even 80% royalties on aL is not sufficient to pay #a even when combined with #b
THEN if follows that
MNTA/NVS is likely to get a reasonable percent of all of A*/WPI's income stream for a substantial period of time. I would suggest that whether this takes the form of "royalties" or something else is a nuance that doesn't matter to first order.
