If we settle, or win at trial and then the PTO renders a decision that is against all three patents (highly unlikely but just throwing this out there).....

1. We would file an appeal...

2. We would continue to obtain license agreements because patents would still be valid until PTO renders a final decision that says they are not.

3. If they invalidate the patents on a final decision....that ends a future stream of licensing but we keep the money already collected.

right or wrong?
