Did he name companies and patents?
They are probably comparing patents and percentages that are irrelevant to this case.
If you have a patent on a small part that is used in automobile manufacturing, you cannot ask Ford for 6-10% of their gross sales. It simply does not happen in business that way.
There are a countless patents in the world, yet there are few companies in the entire world who would ever consider giving up 10% of their gross income.
I would be interested in knowing the names of a few companies who give up over 8% of their gross income to a single patent holder on a patent that is not the central part of their business.
Good lawyers would not allow it to happen.
