1. Live / real-time video selection and routing
|
NVIDIA’s AI and data-center platforms (including Blackwell-class GPUs and
large-scale GPU clusters) are used to process, route, and optimize
live video and interactive streams between mobile devices,
servers, and viewers in real time via cloud providers and partners.

Maps to
U.S. Pat. No. 10,205,986 B2 (’986)
Claim 1 (system for selecting and routing video signals between mobile
devices and viewers) and related dependent claims describing
real-time selection, control, and delivery of live video streams.
Also supported by
U.S. Pat. No. 10,958,961 B2 (’961)
for enhanced routing / control logic.

2. Scale, willfulness, and updated damages basis
|
By late 2025, NVIDIA’s AI and data-center business has turned the company into
the world’s first $5 trillion company, with
record quarterly revenues around $57 billion driven largely
by AI and data-center workloads that include live and real-time video processing.
NVIDIA has had actual and constructive notice of my patents and the prior
demand (original $500M claim) and has continued its activities.
|
Under U.S. patent law, ongoing use of patented methods and systems
after notice can constitute
willful infringement, supporting enhanced damages.
The original $500M claim assumed a smaller revenue base. Given NVIDIA’s
updated financial position and continuing use, a revised damages / license
demand of $2B is reasonably tied to:
• the scale of NVIDIA’s infringing revenue base, and
• the need for a meaningful, non-nominal license for core infrastructure.
|
• Public reporting that NVIDIA became the first
$5 trillion company in October 2025 (AI / data-center boom).
• Recent financial reports showing ~$57B in quarterly revenue,
largely from AI / data-center chips and systems.
• Prior notice and unpaid original claim (Chart #1 at $500M).
|
|
3. Updated damages / license demand
|
NVIDIA continues to benefit from the patented mobile live-stream routing
technology at global scale. The original half-billion-dollar demand is now
outdated relative to NVIDIA’s current revenue, market share, and market
capitalization.
|
The updated figure of $2,000,000,000 reflects:
• A modest fraction of NVIDIA’s current quarterly revenue (well under 5% of
a ~$57B quarter), and
• A negligible fraction of its ~$5T market value, yet a meaningful amount for
licensing foundational live-stream routing technology.
This amount is presented as a reasonable, good-faith license and damages figure
for purposes of negotiation, settlement, and—if necessary—presentation to the court.
|
• NVIDIA investor and earnings materials showing multi-billion-dollar quarterly
revenue driven by AI / data-center products.
• Independent financial press coverage confirming the ~$5T market cap milestone
and revenue figures.
• Economic analysis that a $2B license and damages package is small relative to
NVIDIA’s scale yet commensurate with the central role of the patented technology.
