Could it be that the Cloudflare victory would basically give anyone in the future a very strong case to fight Sable with?
And so this portfolio of patents has lost most of its value because of that?
Maybe Cloudflare agreed to reduced damages in exchange for this?
I agree it's unclear.
- sowbug 2y agoTake a look at the legal doctrine of collateral estoppel. Once a party gets its day in court on a specific issue of fact, it can't keep relitigating that issue in later legal actions. It's possible that Cloudflare was the first to take Sable's claims all the way to a verdict (versus settling early), so Sable might have finally gotten its day in court. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collateral_estoppel https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collateral_estoppel
