Whatever happened to companies turning a profit on, you know, their goods or services? Lately it seems that companies think it's OK to enhance their revenue--or even base their primary revenue on--suing. It's a disgusting practice and I wish there were a way we could curb it in the US. If I were a majority shareholder I would immediately call for the resignation of all executives in the company for pulling crap like this.
3 times the maximum? How can a certain amount be maximum if you can claim 3 times that amount? Isn't the 3x amount the real maximum if this is indeed the case?

@Tinu:
If you read the article, it says the legal maximum that a patent violation suit can call for is three times the estimated damages.
Reading comprehension = FAIL
