I am quite sure the jury is going to concentrate on the patents and infringement at the trial. That is not going to be an easy cakewallk for Chanbond-the base patent got hammered at the CAFC. However, if they get past validity and infringement against Cox, the jury will see 3 guys that made a huge advancement in modem technology, not a NPE. And those 3 guys have been tirelessly working for 20 years to get recognized for their work.The jury wont give a damn about NPE's, if Chanbond can climb the mountain and validate their work at trial. And Whitman would surely strike you as a juror for cause, LOL. And Cox's side would take me out as well!
