Financial food for thought.

If EDIG netted only $1 Mln on avg from 184 infringers, over 5 years from start to finish, that's $184 Mln/5 = $36.8 Mln in IP revs alone per year.
The reason I chose $1 Mln, is many of the infringers way down on the list may only have to pay us a small amount, thus dragging the avg down.
We will certainly get some big hitters that will get stung hard, and the little guys will not, so just a WAG for maths sake on my part. Heck, if it's even 1/2 that, still $18.4 Mln per year.
I'm just playing with numbers and timing for the heck of it, to really grasp the scope of this, and I have no idea what I am talking about obviously, but I did see DABOSS sleep walking going by my house this morning with a bottle of DEGO RED in his right hand. I was going to wake him up, but he was having too much fun!!
LOL...
