First, it was pointed out to me that the expert witness claim appeared in the 10Q. That's right. So, the trial isn't even underway yet. What the heck was CNBC reporting for god's sake. Second, it is extortion. Patent attorneys buy patents all of the time and litigate. It's wrong but done all of the time Third, if Intel did violate the patent--and I don't know if they did--somebody claimed that Intel's position is that the damages should not exceed $1B (can't find any qute for this). In any event, CNBC blew it again and caused the stock to drop a point after market. It is quite remarkable the effect that they have on billions of dollars.
