theflyonthewall.com: Acacia Technologies could get a boost if Yahoo settles the appeal, BusinessWeek
Acacia Technologies (ACTG) which acquires and licenses patented wireless and Web technologies, moves in part on the fate of its lawsuits. The stock could get a lift on a pending case with Yahoo! (YHOO). On May 15, a U.S. District Court in Tyler, Tex., awarded Acacia $6.6M in damages for its net-related patent suit against Yahoo. Acacia then appealed to increase the damages. If Yahoo settles, Acacia will get a boost. Jonathan Skeels of investment outfit Davenport says, "Our Q4 sales estimate of $13.5M and earnings of 1c a share could be low if the Yahoo case goes well." Skeels has a Buy rating on the shares. Acacia has a slew of lawsuits against other biggies,including Oracle (ORCL), AT&T (T), and Google (GOOG), he notes. Reference Link :theflyonthewall.com

One Silicon Alley source says the laid-off Yahoos will get a "doublekicker" severance, meaning they'll get their bonuses and see a full acceleration of stock vesting.
