"How did the parties get to this point so quick?" Answer: Markman Hearing. Infringers are seeing Ropes & Gray not hesitate to go for a Markman Hearing. That speaks of their confidence in the strength of SFOR IP and their casework. Infringers also could be hesitant to have some of their trade secrets being made public in a court of law. You'll recall Microsoft settled with SFOR shortly after Blank Rome had initiated a Markman Hearing. In the IP legal defense world that is bringing up the heavy guns. It is a high risk, but high potential, legal tactic that won the day for Blank Rome and hopefully will do so again for Ropes and Gray in the near future.
