Regardless, you need to ask yourself a question—is QTMM in the business of manufacturing, marketing and licensing its quantum dot technology or is QTMM in the business of prosecuting lawsuits?

QMC was forced into defending itself against K&L Gates due to their representing both QMC and L2/SBI at the same time -conflict of interest and all that goes with that.
The fact is that QMC is in the business of marketing, licensing and gaining royalties on the full value of its Quantum Dots in end products, and in this new QDX HealthID venture. To the degree that business was curtailed and constrained due to the actions of Gates attorneys being complicit in favoring L2/SBI instead of QMC is for the court to decide. Court action has not been favorable to Gates to this point.
Your "skimming" the documents did not reveal the actual length of time Gates did this, but it was not 10 days. LOL
Your big argument seems to be that QMC could not claim very much damage as justification for an award and punitive damages. Fact is we don't know and that is for QMC to present. I do know that the markets are huge for displays, solar, QDLeds, IoT sensors, IR and UV products, etc. and as over $900 million in antigen test sales to UK show, these deals tend to be huge.
In any case your experienced legal mind seems to have missed the message of my reply to your disparaging post, which is that I didn't think Gates has the guts to go to trial against all the negative publicity and potential loss of business from having their Sterling reputation fall in the mud due to their double dealing activities. Settling soon limits the damage, going to trial exposes all. BTW, the reason for the increase in damages is the new evidence Minns gained at the Kansas trial that he says strengthens his case. Call his bluff, Gates. Minns wins.
