NetList Inc (NLST)

Unless there's a settlement between Samsung and NLST, I'm afraid you can look forward to more delay.

My opinion but I think Gilstrap is waiting to see the results of the CA BOC case first. That would solidify the timespan in which Samsung has infringed. Then he can give accurate numbers regarding the royalties due Netlist (to date) and finish the case. Once he does that, you can be 100% assured that Samsung will appeal the finished case. I think Gilstrap is trying to "cross all the T's" and "dot all the I's" to lessen the chances of a successful appeal by Samsung. But I think it will be successfully appealed, regardless. If the appeal is heard, it will be another 12-18 months of wait.

The Micron case is different. There's not much doubt they will be found guilty, and pretty quickly. Then you can be sure THEY will file an appeal to their case. Again, I think that Gilstrap is trying to be super careful so as to leave as little "appeal" wiggle room as possible. But I feel sure that the appeal will take place.

I am also frustrated. But each step is a little closer to the finale. Google.

The legal system is very ponderous. I don't know of much that NLST could do differently - except to give in and settle for a tithe of what their IP is actually worth. This is what the infringers are hoping for, I'm sure. I wouldn't want them to do that. We are all in different places but for myself - I have the shares I want and the time to wait. Everyone has a decision process to go through.

My opinion.

Good luck.
