Tunheim denies the electronics conglomerate's motion for judgment as a matter of law and grants the MRI technology licensor's motion to amend its judgment against the conglomerate to include pre- and post-judgment interest. The conglomerate made "clear and definite promises" to the licensor when it purchased its assets and promised to move forward with the licensor's technology, so it is not entitled to judgment as a matter of law on the licensor's promissory estoppel claim. The licensor's calculation of prejudgment interest is too generous, since the conglomerate's $10 million verbal settlement offer does not supersede the legal effect of an earlier, smaller written offer, which was the definite monetary offer. Daily post-judgment interest is granted at $851.60 per day.
