Answers to your questions are as follows:...

1) Pick any number you are comfortable with, and I will support you...Lol...

However, in actual law practice damages are calculated, (you put them on the black board) based;

A) The number of actual widgets Samsung sold that actually were infringing on EDIG patents? (Remember SAMSUNG was trying to drop 20 phones from the accused products, thus trying to mitigate,( reduce) DAMAGES.)

(B) Whether the infringment was done with knowledge or was consequential?, and

(C) Whether treble damages would lie?...

After the briefs were filled with the Court last week, the parties saw the light and concluded "Settlement" would be a better option than having the Court actually RULE on it...

Considering that I have always argued that SAMSUNG was THE logical choice for getting the MARKMAN RULING, and the fact they are still working out the details, and need another month to finalize them, I am constrained to think that a buy out by SAMSUNG is still in the works, and barring such a development a SETTLEMENT standing alone should be BIG, MUCH BIGGER than the other 6 settlements...

Good Luck to all...
