It does not work that way...
Factually, you can say that DM will utelize some of the points he makes in the VIVITAR law suit as a bench mark in his other law suits as they follow in point of time after VIVITAR. Things like a favorable Markman Ruling as to validity of EDIG Patents...
However each case has to go to trail on its own merits, and on the issues raised in that case...
He is talking about the $4 Million cost for each case that goes to trail.
Vivtar may settle, after the Markman Ruling by Judge Ward. Its cost will be less that let us say the law suit against Samsung, should that case go to trail on the issues of damages. It is the "TRIAL" that can more than triple the costs in a law suit by having EXPERTS and other witnesses brought to Court to testify in order to make a record that is comprensible by the Jury...
So the assumption that each case following VIVTAR will cost less has no basis in fact...
