Don't expect any ITC news on Monday

I spoke to Janet Point this morning and asked her if IDCC was planning on making any announcement regarding the ITC staff report. She told me that the staff report would be given to the lawyers on Monday and that it was confidential. I asked her if it was for the lawyers only, not the client, and she said yes. She said the report is disclosed at the trial. Janet said that they were investigating how disclosure was handled in other ITC cases.

This is my interpretation of what she told me, and I may have misunderstood her meaning, so don't quote her or the company based on this. If you want clarification call Janet Point and 1-800-no wires. While I did not follow up at the time, in looking at my notes it seems odd that the clients would not have access to the reports from the lawyers as it would seem to be an impetus to settlement. Maybe she was saying only the lawyers got the report directly and did not mean to convey that IDCC would not know the results.

Based on our conversation, I am expecting NO NEWS on Monday and probably not in March. If anyone can find other ITC cases that have an early disclosure I'd suggest bringing them to Janet's attention to give her a precedent for getting the info our sooner. From the amazing Olddog's post from earlier today, 3 weeks looks like a possiblity.

Okay, back to taxes.
