is indicative of business as usual licensing?  If so, why all the secrecy?

IMHO I think there are some very large dollars involved in this business resolution. This is why:

IMHO the 8k filing that followed the PR was only to satisfy the requirement for Fair Disclosure because it was filed under SEC 8k events.

IMHO I think it is possible that a trigger has not yet been pulled which makes this a material event.  When that event happens and from what I have read on SEC rules, an 8k will not need to be filed, but rather an attachment to the next filing.

IMHO if it had gone to trial and the Js lost, they would have the financial resources to file an appeal and would have. How long would this have dragged out????  and at what cost if they settled then instead of now?

If you were a J who had been trying to stall this trial in the hopes that the re-exams would invalidate the patents and that didn't happen and through skillful mediation agreed to a business resolution.....wouldn't you owe it to your shareholders to protect some of that settlement money through (for lack of a better term) a contingency clause?

If I am way off base here as others believe, please explain.

I too would be happy with 1% but my gut tells me it may be a lot more.....

Thanks much,

Laurie
