Thom of course thinks this will be ruled in their favor, would he tell you anything differently?
It very may be, but we won't know till we know.
As quilt said at this point, a settlement with Bungie is great, means they won't get sued as the existing suits are against ATVI and now Linden.
If I am not mistaken, WDDD said they planned on adding Destiny, but it hasn't been added yet has it?
Nobody knows how long the PTAB will take, they aren't going to tell either or both parties well in advance of a ruling.
That is just not how our legal system works.
If Thom does say something, what is he going to say?
A Pr that says we are anxiously awaiting a positive outcome of the PTAB decision on remand, he already said that when they did the PR on Linden.
There is nothing new to add about the PTAB proceedings, we are waiting on decision. Will be waiting on decision for as long as it takes.
I told you guys that over a year ago when we found out it was remanded back to PTAB. I got shouted down and called captain spin, and that I wasn't a true long and various other things. I just have done enough research to understand how this system works, and they don't care.
As I have stated many times, the PTAB is dicey at best, and there is no deadline for a PTAB ruling on remand, it is open ended once you break 6 months. What we think is right or fair is irrelevant,
anybody who tells you they know what the PTAB is going to do, is lying to you. I don't know whihch way it will go. I am simply basing my decision and predictions on past track record and current Judges as that is all you can do.
Thom thinks this should go WDDD way, and for good reasons, but the PTAB track record says it can go anyway they want.
Listen to guidance, not listen to guidance, I can post plenty of examples of both. If the PTAB wants to they can do a complete reversal and say everything is now valid or they are just as apt to say everything is invalid, even the existing claims that got through or anything in between...
I know some of you will say...No that can't happen...yes it can. do the reerach and you will see.
The PTAB decision, was vacated for a remand. Everyone said oh yeah! it was vacated, great results, NO, not great results, we had to go back to the PTAB, look up PTAB and Death squad, ..
oh the PTAB has changed, is changing, in some areas yes and some areas no.
DO some research on PTAB decisions, all I ever see is people post stuff they want to hear, stuff they want to see that validates those feelings, just as much stuff out there that says otherwise.
SO many people have said, oh settlement can happen any day,
only way a settlement happens before PTAB decision is if WDDD takes pennies on the dollar, which they won't. Even if they do get a settlement, still need PTAB ruling moving forward with this.
It is why I got out when the remand was announced, and as you all know, won't be back in till its a no brainer on price or PTAB decision comes down and we are clear of them.
