No sense in handing out more information to infringers than necessary, however it can be easily understood by those same infringers that not all situations are equal. Whatever amount is sought by DM will be based on a unique mix of how many, for how long, and the value of products that infringe. The relative sizes of each company is but one indicator out of several variables that exist. Just because company A settled for X amount doesn’t mean company B could be settled for X +/- 10.

Each situation is unique. DM knows that, will present that, and I'm sure EDIG would tell us that.

An edge is an edge... and I agree DM should keep what it can. But I don’t think it would be an insurmountable problem should that edge be ‘lost’ through a 10Q filing. We’ll know soon enough. I’ll predict next Wednesday after the bell.

BTW sunpoop, regarding capital gains... I guess that could be right. It could be done either way, but you’re probably correct that it would be made effective without warning or the opportunity to sell in advance. I’ll just have to deal with whatever happens (just like with EDIG). I’ve had very little experience with actual capital gains - only really know about losses. From that point of view then, capital gains taxes would be a nice problem for me to have.
