Hi Ian,
I don't understand what this whole thing about turnover is about - much simpler just to say "This website infringes the following patents:", I think this whole 2% 5% business is just confusing the issue.
Joe Soap doesn't understand turnover but Joe CEO and his shareholders do, in fact they won't care about much else. Isn't that who this is targetted at?
I think Joe CEO would respond just as well to "you can get sued if you do that" as to vague arguments about hypothetical percentages of revenue.
Perhaps we could create another example more suited to consumers, perhaps explaining how patents are tacking a buck or two onto their purchases?
Hmmm, again, I think we are making this more complicated than it needs to be by talking about specific and completely imaginary amounts of money and percentages. Lets keep it simple.
Ian.
