RE: Why Do Tesla want these Patents so bad?11 Dec 2023 09:27
I'm not sure about license but I'm pretty sure we've spent 2-3 million in costs. It's good that there is no upper limit on settlement, the jury might decide a larger figure that will actually bruise Tesla rather than a smaller figure which will be pocket change. Last year tesla turned over 95 billion USD ours was 4M AUD 2.6 USD. so if they awarded us 5 million USD it would be like us paying out 4000 dollars, this is pocket change. What's the point in having a patent in the US if a big company can just copy your product and make you drag them through court spending millions then they have to pay the equivalent of a nice meal for the directors. The payout needs to match their income, which is why they were so keen to have a cap on damages.
