I don't think the appeal is a downside driver. The desperation obvious in it belies weakness on the part of hynix. The arguments are specious and callow. They are more a matter of petulence than law. I don't think Judge Whyte will grant the request because he knows Hynix had a fair hearing. Further, the proper time for an appeal is after the infringement portion of the trial. Further yet, Hynix is trying to plead that a broad complete and written verdict is contradicted by a narrow, incomplete, and unwritten verdict. It just won't wash.

All of this said, you are correct that any delay caused by this ludicrous ploy could be a negative. I'm just counting on Judge Whyte to not be taken in by such foolishness.
