The real question is if that amount will be upheld after all the appeals which are going to happen. It is highly unlikely.



It seems like every time I read about an appeals case involving patent infringement, the punitive damages do get revised downard to a sizeable degree...

They will definitely live like Kings for the rest of their days, but I'd bank on a substantial adjustment to the amount awarded.



Actually 133 million is relatively small compared to the 500 million dollar cases they've paid out, so I doubt it will be downsized that much. Microsoft doesn't have much of a case towards their appeal, and his lawyers don't think the judge is going to change it much, if any. So I guess we'll see. Either way they're gonna be rich(er).
