Helicos Biosciences Corporation (fka HLCSQ)

[highfive]

TRIAL SOON APPROACHES Sept its on...

and the helicos lawyers did such a nice job bringing in this "onion" kind of legal case...

109 patent is the spine and core of the whole arguement...everything was thrown in there so as the discussions and process moved forwad.....layers peeled away......little concessions and settlements are made...making Helicos look all so rationale and respectful to court and the due process....something the jury will be very happy to see...

109
109
109

it was always a 109... but when you go to trial you throw as much arbage on the wall as you can hoping it sticks....like prosecutors do when they go trial they will add all sorts of charges to the case so there is some leverage or give and take that can be done...but the CORE charge...the raison d'etre for going to trial the reason for the talk of the injunctions and such are the 109 patents...


Life was released because althought they were developing 3 gen tech using some of Helicos IP...the simple fact was that LIFE had not sold or made a dime from any of helicos ip....THEY WERE ADDED TO SLOW THEIR DEVELOPMENT DOWN AND KEEP EM HONEST

PACB and ILMN BOTH mae money using Helicos IP.... although PACB made very little the target has always been on Illumina and the 109 patent....


its funny Illumina being sued because of its illuminating system within its machines
