We know:
Nest and Dropcam have been using our tech for several years in their products--the suits against those two have been terminated
Google, who after the infringement began, bought both companies because they saw promise in the products, settled and signed a license agreement that is being kept cloaked
Edig stated that they are not contemplating filing any new suits "at this time"
There are several ongoing suits that were stayed pending the results of the Google IPR--with the IPR terminated, these suits can move forward to trial or settlement without the benefit of either side knowing the outcome of a review. If the outcome had been favorable for Edig the settlement monies would be higher, if the IPR had been more favorable to the defendants the settlement monies would be lower.
I really do not care for hypotheticals but, could Google and Edig be using the settlement figures from these other ongoing cases in addition to the one prior Nunchi settlement to help determine the real life value of the Nunchi patents as interpreted by a person of ordinary skill in the art and thus the just price of a buyout? Here's hoping?
