MEDIATION... is an integral part of any civil lawsuit process. Yes, it is something to be optimistic about, yet there are no guarantees whatsoever. Mediation is only as good as the two parties and the mediator.
Although mediation is optional, in a great sense it is mandatory because if one party declines the threat of pissing off the judge becomes very real. So, both sides go to mediation.
As an inventor, I participated in mediation in a civil matter that that was in US Federal court and it was nothing short of a joke. The mediator I had was the dean of a prestigious law school and he was there just to pick up a few hundred dollars per hour to fund his next trip to Bermuda. The mediator told me that the Fortune 50 company that I was suing for breach of contract, patent infringement, misappropriation of trade secrets and fraud was out of money... ha ha. As it turns out,I have the most patents in my field of anyone in the last 40 years, so I guess my suit was valid.
On a positive note, the chancery division of Del seems to handle these matters with alot more care and greater speed. I really don't know how this court works, but I can tell you that it's looking to be a fart better place than Federal court. I for one am thrilled that we got kicked out of Federal court in Cali.
We have to wait and see. Just a reminder; Pauls response is not due until July 20. I'm rooting for Paul and chomping at the bit like the rest of you. GLTA
