Nothing has been determined as to who owes how much, or even if anyone owes at all. That is what the trial will be about. The markman hearing will go a long way to deciding IF anyone owes, but nothing on how much they owe. However, the delay is not reducing the amount of the recovery. The potential recovery will be a royalty based on sales by each infringer. The royalty rate is decide by the jury. The amount awarded will be the rate multiplied by each infringers sales starting with sales made up to 6 years before the lawsuit was filed, and continuing until the trial date. Interest is tacked on at a fairly high rate for the time from the damages accruing until the judgement is entered.
