Yes. only covid. He's not old.

Let's hope it's only covid.

That is insightful. Thanks Feeks.

Thanks guys.

Please can one of our legal experts confirm or correct something that hasn't quite seemed right to me...

It has been suggested that if the judge does not agree with the jury's damages award then the judge can adjust it using the willfulness uplift factor. This seems to me to lack transparency. It somewhat defeats the object of the jury's judgment, contradicts their independence and makes the willfulness factor misleading.

In my example the figures are just for illustration:
Say the judge believes that the base damages should be $800m and willfulness multiplier should be 1.5 hence an overall award of $1.2bn. If the jury awards $1.0bn then the suggestion is that the judge could apply a 1.2 willfulness multiplier and thereby achieve his $1.2bn award.

Do we know if this is really what happens?

Thanks for your work Hawi!!

Please can you expand on that Hawi? Thanks.

NGR there will be a settlement, even if there are several appeals first. This thing will be concluded upon a settlement unless Nanoco lose and give up.

Shaddickp I like the sound of that... If I were on the jury and I were given an upper limit, that would be my number!

Patty, I seriously doubt that anyone would fall for the "more where that came from" scenario. Samsung would need to be contractually obliged or why would anyone believe them... and even then.... why would anyone believe them given their track record.

If STmicro are on the brink of supplying to their customers and they are hoping to take this strategy, the had better have plans in place already... ie. a facility set up to make CFQDs.

Arrogant.

If Nanoco loses in Texas but gains an injunction in Germany, surely Samsung must pay for the licensing in the USA if Nanoco want them to. The German market is big enough to outweigh the cost of a USA royalty.

Regarding commercial contracts... we are awaiting a probable commercial contract in the next 3.5 months according to Brian Tenner.
Is it possible that STmicro are awaiting this court decision, in order that they also may be able to use free tech. I don't know how these supply chains work but I suspect STmicro would not take this strategy if it meant that they would risk delaying supplies to their own customers.
Can someone shed some insight to allay my fears?

Surely it is conceivable that the funder could influence a settlement decision to some degree as they hold the funds for further litigations?
Anyway, none of us really know if this is relevant or how much it would impact the level of settlement.

LOL. Understandable :D

Kisses for Armeloque. Mwah Mwah... xxx

No kisses for Amerloque then.

Amerloque, this is music to my ears and I could kiss you.
Are you sure that the judge can over-rule the jury?
