Hello Mr. T! LOL!
Nice move on IMOTE. Zippy!
RE: PTSC ... speculation at this point.
1) The court case ... waiting on Judge Ward's ruling on ACP (attorney client privilege) -- TPL opposing. It's way overdue.
2) Meanwhile Philips licensed the MMP. Some evidence shows Toshiba and Philips tied together. Philips reported in a past Q (over a year ago, I think) they refused an offer to settle with TPL for 22 mil ... guesses are 20 mil would be a minimum, and that it could be substantially more "if" they suspect a big settlement by the J's is close.
3) A previous Pacer declared request for name change to the court case number (remove the defendants who have already settled from future DOC titles.
4) Yesterday Pacer revealed a retraction of the motion for name change ... why?
5) Yesterday Pacer reported motion for a 30 day stay of the case (apparently not yet signed by JW).
6) Last time in Toshiba case they settled after a 45 day stay of that case ... forgot with who ...
7) If JW rules in TPL/PTSC favor re: ACP (Higgins/Shaw) logic is TPL will file for Summary judgment based upon the previous Markman ruling which highly favored TPL/PTSC.
(There was to be mediation going on last month, but w/o the ACP motion answered it appears the mediation hit a wall or has been postponed until the ruling is made)
8) With the Holiday season fastly approaching, the lawyers won't want to be all tied up with case prep for the Trial scheduled for early January.
Bit's /n Pieces that some have put together speculating a settlement is in the works.
Hope that helps ... you know me, I do the best I can. LOL! As I stated, "speculation at this point."
Cheers -- SAM
