In cable's brief - they quote the judge that there will be no trial until Cisco appeal is decided which is months away. This means that unless UOIP/Chanbond drops appeal, our payday may be delayed into 2020.
From 1st brief in summary section:
Moreover, no date has been set for the summary judgment hearing, and the first trial in these cases will not be scheduled until ChanBond’s Federal Circuit appeal of an adverse IPR decision is complete, which will not occur for several months. See D.I. 278 (June 13, 2018 Hr’g Tr.) at 29:4-15 (“So what I’m inclined to do is . . . say[] that I’m not going to schedule a trial until I have a decision from the Federal Circuit on the appeal . . .”); D.I. 295 at 10:3–9 (“I think I saw me saying pretty definitively the last time around, until the Federal Circuit rules, you’re not getting a trial.”). ChanBond has sufficient time to cure any perceived prejudice through a sur-reply, and should simply do so.
