The Future: Lawsuits/Settlements/Negotiations
Bottom-line on lawsuits.All Settlements right after dismissal is overturned.
There could be some settlements before dismissal is overturned , could happen through mediation. But all lawsuits will be settled right after dismissal is overturned.
Here is how I see Lawsuits/Settlements/Negotiations playing out.
I was involved in selling my company to a well known household name company through a Buyout . So below is some insights I will share about my experience of the decorum during process.
Since SFOR will be in the drivers seat legally and they will be future partners, I don't see infringers Management or lawyers sacrificing the future by being unreasoning or unpleasant to save a few bucks over the current settlement negotiations.
Therefore overtures from infringers management and legal team will be warm like long lost family members reuniting, thus these will be friendly relationship building encounters. IMO
We should see SFOR on the oral calender any day now, we filed in May and other companies who filed in May are being scheduled. We are over due perhaps in November , maybe December (My guess) or even if it should be early January (I would be surprised,doesn't matter).
SFORs PPS should already have risen on revenue PRs from Govt and PCI sales revenue in the millions. We are talking "Kays tweet we will see Millions" So with SFORs share price looking much better perhaps .15 to .25 on the millions of recurring revenues at that point.
So here we are in November or December or even early January is not to long to wait for the reversal of dismissal , because that is an event, the EVENT , and that will shake up the financial world as it puts everyone on notice that they will soon get a knock on the door and a letter in the mail, that they are infringing, stop using our product and pay SFOR licensing fees and reasonable damages or else trial treble damages as a willful infringer and possible financial death or significant financial maming in trial aka "the Mare of Steel" (see below)
Some of the current infringers who know the end game of their legal position due to supreme court rulings and SFORs PTAB victories etc, could settle or come to an agreement before dismissal is overturned on mediation to expedite the settlement.
However ALL WILL settled their lawsuits promptly after dismissal is overturned. It will be done amicably on both sides as they know they will soon hop into bed together and become channel partners (marriage).
These bigger companies Thayles, Singtel, and Cisco who bought out the smaller infringer companies , IMO will be easier to deals with numbers wise as regards settlement figures. We are talking figures in the 100's of millions in damages and monthly recurring payments in the 10's of millions these companies will not suffer sticker shock looking at the hundreds of millions they will pay, as they are billion dollar corps. Chicken feed and they have already figured payments in their purchases with the aforementioned companies.
Also Kay and Company are indeed happy with the buyouts of Dou Gemalto Vasco etc for obvious reasons. #1 first of all they know they are going to win and #2 these companies being billion dollar in revs businesses, they will bring in twice or more in recurring monthly revenues as previously expected as these businesses implement SFOR products in all their customers.
Money is no problem for these companies they are budgeted to aggressively build their cyber security businesses so as to grab market share and thus the reason they overpaid for the Duo's Gemalto's etc to accomplish it.
Paying SFOR will likewise be no issue. As it's obvious they want to make a good impression and establish a very good, warm, friendly, reasonable relationship as a future partner of SFOR. In fact I can assure you in some of meetings behind the scenes and in the initial meetings there will be warm compliments going back and forth showing mutual respect for each other, friendly laughter smiles, jokes and private dinners at their homes with the key players as relationship building is in full swing. Who knows they might even take turns kissing Kays booty as they might want "curry his favor" for a potential buyout. There will be little mention of money as they already know and have accepted the amount they will pay. It's about the future.
These buyout companies already know the strength of SFORs patents and Ropes and Grey and Blank Rome etc. They may have already had preliminary settlement discussions. Perhaps some mediation to reach a settlement .
Be assured when the dismissal is overturned , all these lawsuits will settle with damages in the 100's of millions and monthly revenues in the 10's of millions. This is a matter of a few months. Ropes and Grey will leave no money on the table.
SFOR's PPS will be multi dollars when that happens.
Then the next round of infringement lawsuits commence , infringers will be invited to stop infringing and become a licensed user or face trial as a willful infringer paying 3 mil for the trial and treble damages aka as the financial equivalent of Riding on the Mare of steel see brief video below . lol One of my childhood favorite movies Longships.
Prediction: next round of notified infringers will quickly settle without a whimper. More cordial smiles and relationship building with SFOR through settlements.
Then the following round the same results and so on with the following round and the next round there are hundreds of infringers out there.
SFORs PPS will briskly continue to have its amazing breakout ride.
Good times! Hang in there!
