November/December 2009...LOL Nothing is happening until 11/29 earliest, and probably not until 12/7, the anniversary of the attack of tiny Japan on the big USA at Pearl Harbor. And you remember what happened afterwards.... GLTA

Tryz--The article you cited is directly on point. Good find. Although about 3 years old, the article tells us exactly what the procedures and law and considerations are in these patent infringement cases as they relate to damages.

It also might shed some light on why things seem to be taking a bit longer than some impatient investors would like. Many interesting discussions. One of many subjects is whether, when no injunction is granted (and there will be none here, the continued use of an infringed patent by an infringer constitutes "willful" infringement. The arguments pro and con are given. Post-trial infringement might entitle a plaintiff to enhanced damages, even though not necessarily the often-discussed treble damages, and that enhancement might just be in the form of a somewhat higher running royalty rate.

Patent infringement law is evolving, and hardly anything can be taken as the absolute gospel. Under any analysis, though, it does appear that the legal situation of Vrng is very strong here.

Some of the investors who say they are sick and tired of waiting, and don't appear to be capable of exercising patience, don't appear to understand what all is going on here. This is a very involved process, and this case is just not the same as going to city hall and paying a traffic ticket. Considerig we're talking about hundreds of millions of dollars I really don't understand why they can't face up to this reality.

Really a good article that addresses many of the things that have been, and are now, going on behind the scenes in our case
