Kockick can use either of these two alternatives depending upon the judgment of the
court:
If the judgement is in favour of Kockick it can resume its operations in India and
continue benefitting from the revenue generated by the app being used by Indian
users. It will now be a choice and not a compulsion for Kockick to enter into
negotiations with other interested buyers such as Iricle, Sellmart and GoGoa.Inc.
to sell or share some portion of its business.
If the judgement is against Kockick it will have no choice but to sell the app or
else it will have to close down its operations in India. Given the success of the app
in the social media market, it can approach other interested buyers such as Iricle,
Sellmart and GoGoa.Inc. for negotiations for better rates.
A recurring income would be more profitable than income from selling its
business in India but since the court order is pending and if it is ultimately against
Kockick, it will look out for the best deal to churn out maximum profit from
favourable negotiations.
