In regard to your calculation with the sum of total infringers products , i am somehow
in disagreement . i believe it could be higher than those billions.
If you look the way how they value and calculate recovery of damages for loss
in recent settlement suit you can reach on different conclusion.
Fowlloing is one example of law of patent infringement
| The law on patent infringement used to allow recovery of damages for lost profits on "convoyed" sales. |
| . Convoyed sales are items that are usually sold along with the infringed product. For example, |
| sales of desktop computers are usually accompanied by sales of computer monitors and printers. |
| That makes sales of computer monitors and printers "convoyed" sales of desktop computers. By the |
| same token, convoyed sales for cellphones are sales of car chargers, home chargers, earpieces and |
| belt clips for cell phones. This approach was known as the "entire market value" rule. |
