A "Global Settlement" is part of negotiations.
To me, a settlement is much, much better than going to trial.
Yes, a Cox guilty verdict would be fantastic, but that takes more time.
Then, most likely, appeals. Then the other defendants are up.
With a "Global Resolution", not only faster, but globally as well.
And all the 400+ smaller cable providers included too.
Even if discounted 25-40%.
Going after the rest of the world will be much tougher to win & enforce.
Don't forget, ChanBond is suing the original 13 largest U.S. cable companies.
I'm not even sure which countries ChanBond filed patents in and which countries have granted their patents.
It could take a decade, plus. Each individual country is different.
Do we even know which countries have granted the ChanBond patents?
I'm hoping specialneeds is correct and their insurers will step-in and settle before the Cox verdict is returned.
Does this even make sense? Do you see where I'm coming from?
That's just my guess. I'm an optimist.
Plus, easier for me to think month-by-month or short-term until we know.
Thinking 2021 or longer term deflates me.
Hope your corvette issue resolved.
Absolutely beautiful car.
Have fun, Scruffer
Tuesday, October 27th, 2020. :)
Happy 63rd AJ.
Yummy.
White rice... Dutch ruffs, "The bone, the bone, the standing rib roast bone please" as his tail wags with his doggy eye stare at birthday boy daddy.
So looking forward to our trial date and our fate with UOIP.

Needless to say, here's hoping for a grand celebration all around with all the remaining WAGGERS.
We've come a long way and time to put this one in the books.
TY LÜ. U2. Got_it_now. Phase 3 = 10/5.

subject to further review if COVID-19 conditions deteriorate, Phase 3 of the Reopening Plan, as modified below, will commence on October 5, 2020.

The countdown continues. Thanks for doing. You're great at it.
And Gm1850 loves countdowns.
Happy Labor Day LONGS, "The team", our crew.
I'm not sure if something Sept 15th, Oct 5th or exactly when next update or trials begin.
TYIA, Scruffer
<= T-13 until next update. Thanks BA.
We want honest hard working people.
It was hilarious at that moment.
I laughed and laughed and still laugh.
These crooks I listed could be bought-off.
HONEST, HARD-WORKING JURORS who know how hard it is to earn a dollar, preferably cable subscribers, sounds like an ideal jury pool.
Maybe a couple of cord-cutters too.
specialneeds would probably know the best candidates.
Have a great night all,
Scruffer
Michael Milken, Jeffrey Skilling & a_released Bernie Madoff.
Not so sure about Bernie though.
William J. Jefferson

Edit: I love it.
If the value of the check was under $450, the offense is generally charged as a misdemeanor. ... In general, if you are found guilty of writing bad checks with the intent to commit fraud, and knowing you did not have the money to cover the check, you can be charged with a misdemeanor or a felony, depending on the case.
Oh, and...
Persons who have been convicted of any felony, or who have served a term of imprisonment in any penitentiary, state or federal, for the commission of a felony; provided, any such citizen convicted, who has been fully restored to his or her civil rights, shall be eligible to serve as a juror.
I did not know that.
iHub: "Educating members one post at a time".
Here's hoping 4 released misdemeanor prisoner on jury.
Sticking it to those cable cos.
Do civil & criminal courts have different judges?
And courtrooms?
Yes, that's about it. Here's my take:
Have posted before. Guess had not seen.
Be sure to open this link within this link (It's at the bottom of this one).

"Come on, who buys this..."
So what have you learned about pinkies?
Thank you LU.
Some things are going on. lÖÖky, lÖÖky.

That's so heartbreaking. ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL automobile.
Hope it all gets resolved. How far to Vegas?
Having a beautiful classic car like that would always concern me with theft & door dinge damage.
I'd probably worry more than enjoy it.
It's exquisite.
For future reference:
Do you fly out & inspect it on site, go thru an auction house or how certify & inspect real McCoy & serial numbers buying?
Also, how heartbreaking & that sucks.
Hope get resolved,
Scruff
That's got a cult following. So stupid, funny.
My feeling is more like "Groundhog Day".
Doing it over and over again, until get it (hopefully) right.
It's gonna be victory or:
Hear Ye, Hear Ye. Odds in our favor.
You keep my optimism alive. Thank you.
Just a bad week all around. Work, life, chasing a trade.
The most additive part of the game for me is:
• Reviewing the stock
• Reviewing the charts
• Seeing the momentum
• Not having patience
• And going for it
• And then only to reverse
Yes, it's become somewhat additive.
Okay, here's Brewster's Millions.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brewster%27s_Millions
So sick & tired of trading trying to beat the market, just settle and diversify into funds.
Don't get me wrong, I've done well, but at some point, must stop and preserve capital for retirement.
It's been fun and rewarding, but as we all know, stressful too.
Hoping for settlement.
These 2-10 year settlement, appeal & payment posts, at times, freak me out.
I'm not in that camp but never know what a jury or BC will do.
This win should allow me to retire.
Plus, correct all bad & stupid trades.
And then done trading.
Feel like, "Brewster's Millions", only with playing the trading game.
Old but entertaining movie (at that time).
gÖÖd things come to those who...
>> ??? <<
Some days it's hard NOT to feel like Professor Terguson.
Hopefully, sooner than later.
It was just a little poem since very few posts.
Felt like adding something.
For clarification, berate "The COVID", the delays and the defense.
Billy is awesome, especially since all indicators point to honoring the common, us little folks, along with the inventors and all.
TGISat, Scruffer
gÖÖd things come to those that wait...
and wait,
and wait some more,
turning to frustrate,
then to berate.
So we wait.
Ha! And must "Try to" exercise as well.
Cardio to keep our strength up, mind clear and get that endorphin release.
Being shut-in would drive me crazy(ier).
This has been one terrible year.
An early trial date with pre-verdict settlement would resolve all that.
Here's to hoping.
Thinking almost a year away breaks me down.
Must baby-step it so go short-term for hope.
If the trial is set-out longer, sobeit, but like taking it one month at a time.
Good to learn. TY BA.
Sweet. What's our over-under on TRIAL DATE?
I'm hoping for Tuesday, October 27th (but I'm an optimist).
Don't even know what's happening in Delaware with the courts and all.
TGIF for those gainfully employed and still working.
All others, drink, toke, munch, binge-watch responsibly.

It appears using "# of PEOPLE could reach".

This is broadband USED. Cable (modems) split-out.

Also, going for global in settlement talks.
Not exactly sure which countries count, what % is cable, but HUGE NUMBER!
This is broadband. Does NOT differentiate among cable, DSL, satellite, phone, mobile hotspot, etc.

Thanks Long Term-inal.
You're credited with the longest post ever.
You're like our encyclopedia Britannica or wikipedia of posts.
It just keeps going and going, like a long airport terminal that never seems to end.
When you think you're close, #56, must go to #98, another 1/3rd mile.
Then find out in wrong concourse or terminal and must reverse course.
Corvettes. :) Yes, it's from "The COVID".
No one really to blame except "The bat eaters" and the government that allowed their citizens to travel outside their country but were locked down in their provinces.
Bruce XI thought, if our economy is going down, well, let's take the global economies with us.
It's like déjà vu. Need that TRIAL DATE!
And so here we are again.
Waiting once again for that elusive TRIAL DATE.
Meanwhile, the world continues to spin with "The COVID".
Where and when it will stop or subside nobody knows.
Sounds great to me.
TY again Sn.
Some that held that 131 year old film (chemical) company got to retire.
That was a crazy move.
Shorts bringing it back down to earth now.
From your experience:
And I know these are just guestimates:
1) What % do you give settlement b4 trial starts?
2) What % do you give 1st trial begins?
3) What % do you give seeing Cox or 1st trial thru to verdict?
4) What % do you give appeal?
5) What % do you give ChanBond winning something?
6) When do you think this will be settled and over?
Thank you very much Specialneeds.
Scruffer
Happy, happy birthday Rockie.
May all your dreams and wishes come true this year.
Billy is the decision maker.
It doesn't matter what we post here, IMHO.
We have no say and this is a penny stock board.
And believe Billy is going for BILLIONS.
A "Global settlement" to me sounds more like negotiating the sale of the patents.
I prefer a "Global settlement", even @ 75-80%.
Billy may want to go to trial though and go for the complete jugular.
It's been a long time, especially for many others.
Also, the inventors aren't getting any younger.
Found this.
1765 DAYS IN LITIGATION or 4.83 years... and counting.
https://insight.rpxcorp.com/lit/dedce-57879-chanbond-v-cox-communications
Yes, I saw that too. Crazy, crazy world.
An early October trial is much better than late November.
Maybe we'll get a Pacer today.
Would love to wake-up, log-in and see funds.
