Not really. The spread is such that it ended up only just higher than the buy price. After expenses not much profit bearing in mind the risk. Far better punts.

[kreature] 16/2/2016 20:11

Hmmm.........you could've made a bit today zipless, no?

It is a bad coin toss with a double headed coin.

[bonio10000] 16/2/2016 15:48

Surely the risk reward is invest £1k then win £5k or lose £1k.

Without the litigation and the apparent loss in the TV business, there is no DDD. Even worse, if they lose the case, why would anyone then US DDD for TVs, being its biggest market?

So in short, Billweb, I think you are incorrect as to the risks.

Sure, DD might win, but the all or nothing nature of the investment doesn't make it an "investment" decision for me. Just a gamble - pure and simple.

This was same as above: posted twice in error; slow website.

Well, I most certainly hope that the legal move is rewarding as it's about the only thing that will be able to make this business worth any more than £10 altogether, lol.

I'm still holding some shares, and if they quintuple, I'll actually be in profit!! :)

I'm glad DDD have chosen these guys...................


Law360 has once again named Quinn Emanuel as one of the “four firms in-house counsel fear the most.”

The 2016 “Fearsome Foursome” were selected based on BTI Consulting Group’s recent survey of over 300 General Counsel, Chief Legal Officers, and other legal decision makers at major corporations.

According to the report, the Fearsome Foursome “consistently manage to make clients feel they are getting all the attention, as if they had no other clients or matters” and “can not only both strategize and implement, they can change as they go.”

This is the fourth time Quinn Emanuel has been named to the Fearsome Foursome since 2010.

On the litigation success definitely worth a punt. It's not costing the company any money. It's likely that there will be a settlement soon. I have been involved in litigation funding in the US which has proven to be a very lucrative investment. Much more of a mature market in US versus Europe. I can't see any real downside. If you look at the risk v reward it's very simple. Say for example a 1k punt, return will be minimum x5.

Chris Yewdall, Chief Executive of DDD, said:

"DDD has invested heavily in its intellectual property portfolio over the years and we have licensed the DDD technology to many companies on fair and reasonable terms. Unfortunately, some companies have refused to license the proprietary DDD technology that they are using. We are pleased to have an experienced team of top litigators helping to enforce DDD's IP rights with respect to LG and to generate additional returns on DDD's IP investments."



Alan Whitehurst, Partner at Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan LLP, said:

"Our clients are of the highest caliber, and we are proud to count DDD among them. With the help of Dominion Harbor, we plan to leverage our trial-proven IP experience and depth of resources in order to maximize the value of DDD's IP."



David Pridham, Chief Executive of Dominion Harbor Group said:

"Quinn Emanuel's reputation as a world-class patent litigation firm and the enthusiasm they have shown for the opportunity to work with DDD made their selection an easy choice. They have an exemplary track record as one of the go-to firms for 'bet the company' intellectual property litigation for the world's leading technology businesses."

You come across as bitter probably bought on the peak and sold at massive loss!

Anyone buying now should do well in my opinion and really not much risk with enormous potential gains.

[zipless] 16/2/2016 15:01

This stock is doomed!

[market master] 16/2/2016 14:50

The litigation team representing DDD have a 95% success rate in winning cases. They will not only win but win big imo, defo worth a punt at these silly prices.

[zipless] 16/2/2016 14:15

They won't get a settlement. The people they are suing have far deeper pockets. They can drag it on for years until DDD go bust.

[bonio10000] 16/2/2016 13:28

If they get a good settlement - will they have the decency to close the company, sell the IP and distribute to shareholders?

Or will they just use the funds for a few more years of gravy?

[bonio10000] 16/2/2016 12:54

A settlement should provide a few more years worth of salary for Chris Yewdell.

How much did he lose on Yazabam? £1m? with £9k in sales on a terrible slate of quasi titles?

Unbelievable.

[market master] 16/2/2016 12:45

I'm very optimistic news is only days away. As is the guy who purchased £9000 of stock this morning?

[cgod] 16/2/2016 12:31

They were expecting news in the new year, I bought these years ago at 1.75p and sold out at well over 30p, Mega reward than risk now at this price.

[market master] 16/2/2016 12:03

Now up over 22%!!!!!

[market master] 16/2/2016 11:48

If they win the returns to share holders could be substantial around 10-15p. Like I said worth a punt!!!

[zipless] 16/2/2016 11:43

This is a dead loss whatever happens. Even a litigation win would only give them some cash to burn. From DDD's track record it wouldn't last long. It would just prolong the agony.

[market master] 16/2/2016 11:35

This could easily ten bag on litigation news. Defo worth a punt in my opinion.

[cgod] 16/2/2016 11:32

600k buy at 1.5p, well over the ask? News on litigation with LG due?

[kreature] 13/2/2016 11:23

dvda..... Does seem relevant. New Year resolution was to listen! Hopefully the new app will inject some life here. ATB

[zipless] 12/2/2016 21:27

This is its all time low. It is difficult to imagine anyone buying as it has been falling for so long, it has just been years of cash burn and losses,

[cgod] 12/2/2016 21:08

Well at this share price, lets see if the main guys buy, that will tell all?
