Please work out the answer to the following and be prepared to present the results

17

tomorrow. If we allowed only the 10% line on Exhibit 34 of Dr. Cockburn’s report, then the top

18

ten percent of the portfolio would be worth 88% (rough average) of the patent part of the $598

19

million. Using the formula accounting for copyrights at paragraph 414, this would mean that the

20

top ten percent of patents would have a combined value of $366 million. Ten percent of 569

21

patents is 57 patents. If those 57 are averaged or of equal value, any five in this group of 57

22

would be worth about $32 million in total. Please check this math and logic and be prepared to

23

discuss tomorrow.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
