EDIG's only chance to ever see .10 again is if the re-exams are successful and some quasi-legitimate litigation ensues. However, given the results of the first two rounds, it is hard to see any competent defense counsel making an offer of settlement, and given the marksman ruling, I can see no grounds for winning such a suit unless the re-exam dramatically alters the scope of the patents.
Then of course, another marksman would be in the roadmap toward completion of litigation - so that would be another two years.
Bad news for us, great news for EDIG as they continue to have carrots with some semblance of substance, Fred keeps his salary (as long as any money is left), etc. Of course, DM might be re-thinking their continuing on a contingency basis in such circumstances.
