WORX MRMD WDDD
Can someone explain the connection if any between WDDD and Worlds Online (WORX) which is now MariMed (MRMD)
How many times have I been down this road .... wait for good news, WDDD rises but never explodes, then slowly bleeds a long slow decline for 9 months to a year before the next BIG news.
StockAlphaDave , what's your best guess on timing of the PTAB ruling?
Ruling timeline - Last week of November would be my guess just based on how everything else has been so drawn out to the nth degreee in this process. Will the PTAB function on "Judge Casper time"? Me bet is yes!
Thanks One, looks like there's light at the end of the tunnel. Just hope it's daylight and not a speeding train headlight!!!
What You Should Know About The New PTAB Rules
Law360, New York (April 5, 2016, 10:50 AM ET) --
Jason Stach
On April 1, 2016, in response to comments received on proposed rules released Aug. 20, 2015, the U.S. Patent and Trademark office released amendments to the rules of practice for trials before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board. These amendments, in the form of final rules, become effective on May 2, 2016, and apply to “all AIA petitions filed on or after the effective date and to any ongoing AIA preliminary proceeding or trial before the Office.” We address several significant provisions of the new rules.
Does WDDD fall under the preliminary proceeding phase???
Sadly there's been NOTHING SPEEDY about this case.
Rain, that is very curious as the MSJ already has a hearing date set for November. It's almost like the judge is asking the parties to speculate on the timing of her ruling for the MSJ. That just seems so weird.
Gonna be a LONG ride! The first Motion for Summary Judgment took 9 months from the motion being filed to the final ruling. It took just about as long to get a ruling after the Markman hearing. So here we are again! Approx 9 months from now we'll get a ruling on this latest MSJ. That puts trial date likely back to first or second quarter 2017! Are we having fun yet??? (hope I'm wrong)
Jetta, how else would you characterize this? If the judge isn't getting played then certainly WDDD and SG are. I still have no idea why WDDD consented to delay the status conference. It gave Ropes & Gray jsut enough time to cook up their latest BS delay tactic.
from the memorandum in support of the motion:
Defendants Activision Blizzard, Inc., Blizzard Entertainment, Inc., and Activision
Publishing, Inc. (collectively “Activision”) submit this Memorandum in support of their
Unopposed Motion to Continue Status Conference.
This action is a patent lawsuit. Following a Markman hearing on October 3, 2014, the
Court issued its Memorandum and Order on claim construction on June 26, 2015. Also on
June 26, the Court set a status conference for July 30, 2015, at 3:15 pm.
Activision’s lead counsel and back-up counsel have scheduling conflicts with the July 30
date of the status conference because of long-standing travel plans. Activision’s lead counsel’s
travel plans continue through August 21, and he has a hearing in another matter on August 24.
In view of these scheduling conflicts, Activision respectfully requests that the Court continue the
status conference until August 25, 2015, or shortly thereafter, at the Court’s convenience.
Worlds does not oppose Activision’s Motion to Continue Status Conference.
You gotta hand it to ATVI and there attorneys Ropes & Gray. They have played this court like a fiddle with all their delay tactics. First they got handed a gift with the Whitey Bulger delay. They used that time to then file the first motion for Summary judgement which delayed the Markman hearing over a year. Now with favorable Markman results for WDDD there was supposed to be this status conference just a couple seeks after the Markman result. So what do Ropes & Gray do? Postpone the status conference due to "vacations". Bull $hit., They used that time to drum up this latest Motion for Summary Judgment. I don't see how the Judge could just ignore this so now we're probably looking at another year before a hint of a trial! I'm so f&^&^%in pissed off right now!!!!
So is anybody on here attending the status conference today???
Again my point is yes it does not move with the market to the upside, but it sure as hell is down with the market on the BIG market down days.
Did you read my whole comment? When the market is down huge so is WDDD, but when the market recovers WDDD does not. That is all.
So frustrating that WDDD moves with the market and outpaces the market to the downside and then does NOT move with the market to the upside!!! UGGGHHH!!
Sounds more to me like someone has a family summer vacation to Europe planned.
Here's the response I got from TD Ameritrade:
"The news feed is provided by a third party, and they normally carry all stories, but they do miss some. We will contact them regarding the missing information, thank you for bringing this to our attention.
Have a great day!"
Ameritrade news ....... yes that has been bugging me forever. I just sent them a note about it. Let's see if they respond!
I read this as a 6-4 win for WDDD. Summary point #8 is actually 3 constructions WDDD lost as indefinite. Anyone else agree?
This is why it's taking so long.

Curiously 1:12-CV-10576 is not on this list???
Not unprecedented here ........ ZMSPF markman hearing date July 2013, ruling date May 2014. I'm sure some knuckleheads will find a way to bash that judge for being a woman.
Anyway could be a long hot summer if we have to wait 'til August!
Markman Hearings and Their Critical Role in U.S. Patent Litigation
China IP News
October 2009
Kovalick, Vincent P.
Article
"Judges typically do their best to issue their rulings on claim construction within a reasonable amount of time after the Markman hearing, but given the demands of their dockets, this is not always possible. In these instances, the case is greatly complicated as it moves forward because the parties and their experts must develop alternative positions taking into account both sides' proposed claim constructions. Nonetheless, once a court issues its claim construction order, regardless of the timing, the parties have far more clarity on the issue and the overriding dispute. Obviously, this new insight helps to promote settlements."
Let's see if I nailed this one???
I can't afford to keep my position which is precisely why I'm NOT selling here so one day I CAN afford positions in other stocks. LOL
Regarding transcript, this is the email response I got:
This transcript has not been ordered yet.
When it's ordered, it will be filed on the docket and then you can order a copy though me.

My guess: Markman ruling Dec 5, 2014 with a trial date Mar 9, 2014. Judge Casper seems to like to take her time!!!
Waited a year and half to get hit by Mack truck! FML
OMG something just happened! Looks like we got SCREWED again somehow!
I really thought someone who attended the hearing would post an update here! Feels like the blackout period when a spacecraft is re-entering the atmoshphere!
Not only the negativity of patent stocks but just some rough days for the market overall. Why couldn't the days leading up to Markman have occurred when the market was rolling upward??? When is WDDD's luck gonna change???
Maybe if enough poeple request taping ......
Here's the link to request video of the hearing.

Congrats Owl, I too passed my point last Friday. As on old owl you must be wise investor! good luck!
madprohet about a week ago I was curious about how threatened ATVI may or may not be by WDDD case so I looked up their most recent 10K. It is true they don't specifically reference this WDDD case. In fact they don't seem to be too worried at all. Benzinga might be on to something here although I don't see how this has any direct affect on WDDD case, but interesting nonetheless. I almost posted this last week but here it is:
Other Matters
In addition, we are party to routine claims, suits, investigations, audits and other proceedings arising from the ordinary course of business, including with respect to intellectual property rights, contractual claims, labor and employment matters, regulatory matters, tax matters, unclaimed property matters, compliance matters, and collection matters.

Just have to brace yourself ......
to handle the highs and ineveitable lows when traders start taking profits. Stay focused eyes on the prize!
I must be missing something here can anybody help .......
In order for a patent to be valid the technology must not have been in public use more than 1 year prior to the priority date.
The motion for summary judgment mentions that WDDD can claim priority date in 2013 when USPTO issued certificates of correction.
So my question is isn't all of this technology been in public use for all these years prior to 2013? so how could any of the patents be valid now?
Markman run up????????
I'm beginning to think there will only be one run up and that happend a little over a year ago until the Whitey Bulger fiasco. Maybe this thing just keeps bouncing between .16 and .19 until a ruling on the Markman hearing??? Any thoughts anyone???
.169 that is!!
Thanks for the cheap shares .......
Topped off my holding with a few more at 16.9
My average is down to .20
Not bad considering my very first WDDD purchase was at .40!
Not so fast re: Documents filed ......
It seems Activision is the only one filing these supplemental docs, not WDDD. It just worries me that Activison always seems to pull a rabbit out of their a$$! Hopefually they dont this time!
Great News!!!
Here's something to nudge WDDD forward a bit.
