Think instead Dyson and Ben and Jerry's. Both were propelled as businesses as a result of winning similar suits. It is likely that Kearns found the case harder to win after waiting 12 years to bring suit. But wiki shows that the Chrysler judgement was 30M, so we have 2.2M profit from the Ford settlement and likely 22M from the Chrysler judgement. In my opinion this is much more than he would have gotten in licensing fees. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Kearns http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Kearns
