Rock, The answer is NO. Only way to end immediately is for Chanbond to cancel/give up appeal.
Below is worst case scenario - before we have the trial with the cable companies.
Therfore, must have Cisco & Chanbond do oral arguments in Fed Appeals court.
No pacer out as to it being on calendar yet - means they missed 6 week advance window for August. So, just Sept and Oct. left to meet original court order to schedule hearing by October.
After hearing, judges can take up to 180 days to render decision.
Whoever loses (Cisco or Chanbond), can request a "rehearing or "en banc hearing". If granted, this would add another 4-6 months before final decision.
As with RPX, there is the possibility of petitioning for writ of certiorari from Supreme Court - this process could easily add 1 year before Cisco final decision.
After all that, if Chanbond wins/prevails - it goes back to PTAB to reconsider those 8 claims.
Then per Judge Andrew, we can have the Deleware infringement trial of the 13 cabel (hehe) cable companies
