While that case is being battered about in the courts, what EDIGGERs can take away from this is their time and place as that market evolved, legitimized by its association with LU and Texas Instruments as the early MP3 players evolved, the size and scope of the judgements and how significant a positive outcome would be to such a tiny company, in flash related markets, a space in which MP3 players certainly exist today.
Nothing better than billion dollar targets in billion dollar markets which are well understood by juries.
I would think infringers have to see EDIG as a legitimate claimant considering their efforts so early in the game and the early patents demonstrated by all their PRs. IF DM and Nunally make their case this is going to be a very exciting point in time.
Now we have no knowledge if Nunally and DM are looking for such numbers or even the MP3 markets but it sure bodes well while we wait as EDIG certainly WAS THERE.
These are not some dinky markets DM is considering....did I say dinky?
