It would make more sense if the judge were waiting for a settlement, that he would issue the final Markman, which would put more pressure on Tmob. The case is still proceeding if you look at the documents that are being filed in the court. One would expect these filings to stop if a settlement was seriously being considered. I doubt Tmob is offerding a huge settlement amount. They probably still think they can win by papering the court with endless motions etc. I have no idea what is taking the judge so long, except that in the past some of the Markman's took several months. It only becomes critical once the trial begins.
