Do you think the J3's products Infringed:

1. A lot

2. Some what

3. A little

4. No clue

I know I own some of the defendents products in my own home, but

I have NO idea what the MMP is worth in each of these products.

2. How much of the J3's overall SALES actually pertained to usage of

the MMP?

If your answers are the same as mine #4 NO CLUE, please give

me a thumbs up.

A TPL rep. at the SHM told me License amounts are NOT just based on a %

of gross sales, it really is about analyzing exactly what does and what doesn't infringe.

That's obviously why they needed to study the design schematics as well as

the sales records and IF we got all we're going to get, it was based on

a formula used in the analysis IMO. I prefer to think their is a method behind

this settlement based on careful analysis and math, not emotion.

But that being said, I wouldn't want to tee off ol Roger Cook. He's got a

temper, believe it or not. I've read some of the deposition dialogue

when Roger wasn't on OUR side. Now for the really longs that can

Remember Roger Cook back then.............did you like him? I'd bet Not. lol

But now he's fighting for us since the Unification of the MMP and that's a

good thing. Everyone has settled with us and Paid a fee based on a formula.

So I ask, Did the J3's products infringe a lot, or Not that much?

You aleady know my answer: No Clue.

I sure HOPE that some engineers/CEO's/other's that have more in depth (K)

weigh in on this, because here in lies the question and answer to our

ponderings about the settlement $$$$$$.

I DO believe they paid something, but what did they really owe?

Thanks again.

We're the ones getting emotional and I do understand that. But I really

think we all need to step back and say, "We have the one of the

Top 4 BEST Patent Law Firms in the Country and the NUMBER ONE Patent Law

Firm Voted in the WEST."

We could NOT be better represented and I hope in the long run, we got

our money's worth.

We shall see in time.

Again, all the best to everyone. Why can't we all just get along?
