I believe you're overlooking 2 issues.

First, while HTC has revenue of around $50B from 2006-2012, the lionshare of that has come over the last 3 years. We sued only for certain products and all of them pre-dated 2011 if I understand things correctly. So essentially, we sued for products that we say generated $8B in total revenue over that period. As most phone makers update their products, switch models each year, those products that we identified, while they received a lifetime license, don't necessarily have any future revenue tied to them from which we can claim royalties.

Secondly, when you consider HP, who at the time was had ANNUAL revenues of around $96B, and they paid $26.5M, if you consider at an average annual revenue rate of $80B from 2006 through 2015 that HP approximately earned , they have earned upwards of $800B over the remaining life o f the patent that the $26.5M license fee is supposed to compensate us for, that works out to be a fee of $1M for every $30B of HP's gross revenues.

Comparatively, HTC paid a much higher rate than HP did, and by far.
