Then as you suggest an agreement regarding future applications using our technology should be under a participation/royalty agreement.
This entire process can be as complicated as we think, considering loopholes and technical changes and other aspects.
I would suggest that if the amount is fair based on as many elements to edig as can be mutually agreed upon, including future applications, then we should accept a single payment, but not allow the infringer to pass on any of our technology.
This is particulary true if by some means the amounts are substantial, like 50, 100 million or more, which I am not expecting from any of the lawsuits filed to date.
