[edit] missed out how?

This stunning defeat, with only 1 year left to run on the patent, destroyed Selden's income stream. ... It is estimated he received several hundred thousand dollars in royalties, but, of course, missed out on a potential income of millions.

I don't understand the conclusion that he missed out on a large income. The defeat came with only 1 year left on the patent. So his income stream would have been "destroyed" only one year later anyway, no?Mike Linksvayer 19:27, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
