"How do you know the infringing company is going to be around in 5 years???"

I've made that point.

However, would it make a deal that much more palatable in a negotiation with an infringer to settle up with say a 5 year payment plan with interest , if the deal was bond able( payment bond)? If not bond able I would not consider it.

Such a deal would allow edig to take it to the bank if needed and might stream line the process.

Just a thought.
