Reinstated last night. Note the new CEO
That's incredibly ironic, would you believe I had done the same thing today?
But I was looking to see if the cusip # might have been picked up. Had looked into this awhile back, the cusip numbers are different, so there's no correlation between them. China Energy just took on the old ticker which became available after Convergence was revoked.

My thinking as well. Half expecting they'll get Qualcomm to expound on that archaic phone architecture the way they're going about this.
That would be impressive :)

A few of us have been ... subtlety, expressing similar sentiments for months :)
It does.
That's Pacelli's (ChanBonds) rebuttal essentially.
Short and concise. Actually would have expected Stacy to interject there.
Ironically ...
Q. So, I would like to take you back
3 to your expert report.
4 A. Declaration.
5 Q. Sorry.
6 A. That's okay.
7 Q. And actually, before we get there,
8 let me --
9 A. We can agree to use the words
10 interchangeably.
11 Q. We may have to. That is an old
12 habit.
13 A. Yeah. Me, too.
Circular reasoning, obfuscation ... ambiguity. It honestly looks very weak. In a former life I sat in on the Intel vs. AMD case and reading this stuff was like a trip down memory lane ...
"The microcode contained in Intel's microprocessors and microcomputers" (Loosely recalled)
An absurd and inordinate amount of time was centered around just this phraseology, which to me at least translated to: AMD stating that they had rights and access to Intel's microcode for all eternity and Intel countering with "Your nuts".
I thought both sides were idiot's for agreeing to such an ambiguous terminology in the first place, although I sided with Intel considering everything else that was going on at the time it was written, other subordinating factors ...
Bit of a different animal comparing what's going on here but just commenting on the tactics. These guy's are trying to draw out any reference they can and put doubt on these expert testimonies to try and build a counter response for their appeal. From what I've been reading so far, if this is all they've got working for them it should be a short court session.
Interesting side note I came across in re: to the above:
"Again, and my previous answer was
3 completely responsive, because the first
4 thing I said was the following: To the best
5 of my recollection, I don't know that the
6 term "frequency band" appears literally in
7 the specification; however, the idea of
8 frequency band occurs frequently, and I know
9 that the Board used the word -- the term
10 "frequency band" in the context of other
11 patents that have this same specification."
This is great reading ... :)
Just got off the phone with Etrade - Same info
Their CFO resigned tail end of April. I would assume the filings will get corrected once that has been rectified.
https://www.otcmarkets.com/edgar/GetFilingHtml?FilingID=11335321
He's not, he's an expert witness for ChanBond - Cisco is deposing him.
Just read through:
https://www.docketalarm.com/cases/PTAB/IPR2016-01744/Inter_Partes_Review_of_U.S._Pat._7941822/05-17-2017-Patent_Owner/Exhibit-2002-44-DECLARATION_OF_SCOTT_M_NETTLES%2C_PHD/
That's quite an impressive consulting record at the bottom there.
Initially I had taken this as someone Cisco had brought in, but he's ChanBond's expert witness that they are deposing.
After hours news out - https://www.otcmarkets.com/stock/PGPM/news
Even more interesting ....
Yes, one of the reasons I stayed in this to begin with. Whether he takes the reigns again or hands it off, good to see him involved again.
Very nice, what some may not realize is Derrick Lefcoe, CEO of BDCI was CEO of EXAD prior to handing it off to Matty.
Interesting developments.
Yes, gonna be a little while but there is a provision in the Integumen filings for EHSK shareholders.

On March 29, 2017, six IPR petitions for US Patent Nos. 8,341,679 and 8,984,565 were denied institution. The denial was based on a difference in opinion about the broadest reasonable interpretation for the term “RF channel,” which affected every claim Cisco sought to have reviewed.

Consolidated Stipulation = An agreement between attorneys that concerns business before a court and is designed to simplify or shorten litigation and save costs. During the course of a civil lawsuit, criminal proceeding, or any other type of litigation, the opposing attorneys may come to an agreement about certain facts and issues. Such an agreement is called a stipulation. Courts look with favor on stipulations because they save time and simplify the matters that must be resolved. Stipulations are voluntary, however, and courts may not require litigants to stipulate with the other side. A valid stipulation is binding only on the parties who agree to it. Courts are usually bound by valid stipulations and are required to enforce them.
I guess a lot of peeps aren't familiar with Cromwell's half-baked 'regulations' and how they enforce\update willy-nilly.
This is fairly typical of them, it hasn't been 'CE' for awhile now - 'Pink Limited Information'
They'll get around to removing the scary Pirate flag eventually.
The associations from\with IPNav are interesting. Essentially, this is a cohesive whole that they acquired with ChanBond - From the patents themselves to the attorney's that had already set this in motion with pending litigation prior to Unified's assimilation.
Deirdre Leane, Carter and Spangenberg all at one time or another associated with IPNav, the level of expertise and sophistication involved, experienced attorney's at very high levels (not to mention high profile cases)... Just a few of things that have had me intrigued for well over a year here.
Essentially this is a prepackaged deal that Howe acquired and Carters involvement can't be overlooked. He's not only well invested in it's outcome holding the majority of shares but also overseeing and having 'sole and exclusive authority over the business of ChanBond' . You could almost say that ChanBond owns Unified.
To the more practical matters at hand ...
Honestly, I had this pegged early on as a real long shot, a David vs, Goliath, unlikely but still an interesting situation that might get some interest along the way. But the two recent PTAB decisions changed that significantly.
There's quite a bit out there about what this all means in cases like this:

As some others here have mentioned I'd still be cautious in presuming too much come Monday. Anything's possible and at worst there should be some filings on PACER, but they may or not get posted right away, could be later in the week. Goes without saying the $ these cable giants have at their disposal ... Delay tactics, behind the scenes negotiations, any number of things could take place.
