VRNG/ GOOG / The forthcoming ruling to allow or strike these Prior Art references is going to be the crux of this case in our opinion. http://enhydrispe.blogspot.com/

It is our opinion that Google may very well lose this ruling because it is in fact a dirty legal tactic. Vringo has stated in its motion for Discovery Sanctions that Google et al. knew of this Prior Art before the Markman hearing, and purposely withheld it. The fact that Google didn’t bring up these patents in the Markman hearing does speak to how their own lawyers view this case in our opinion. [sounds like Google is desperate ~!~~]

If this Prior Art clearly and unequivocally invalidated the Vringo patents, they surely would have laid it out at the Markman hearing and subsequently moved for a dismissal. Why continue to mount up legal fees and possibly annoy the Judge when the case could have been concluded quickly? This tactic of “surprising” Vringo with Prior Art post-Markman and less than two months from trial is nothing less than a delay tactic in our opinion. Even so, Google et al. may win such a last minute “Hail Mary” ruling. With Mr. Perlson at the helm of Google’s legal ship, nothing should be taken as a given for Vringo investors.
