Feeks sorry to repeat this but the phrase relating to multiples of market cap was only in relation to a win and a jury award and the words used (without going back and checking) were more akin to ‘potential’ than ‘will be’.
The presentation you linked uses phrases like “if we win” the jury “comes up with a figure” decides “if wilful” the judge “can apply multiples “ the judge will “make a decision on future royalty or not” he may “mandate but doesn’t have to” and there’s “no such thing as a global patent “.
Putting our differences aside I think we can all agree a settlement would have some sort of discount associated with it.
In the above there are so many variables that I don’t think it’s safe to assume we could achieve the jury decision, a wilful judgement, damages reflecting global sales and avoid a discount in a settlement.
And that’s before we talk about years of appeals, cash and time and validation of IP.
