What is odd is ALL the lawyers filed to quit. PTSC/TPL has used other lawyers for the court room stuff and changed them (remember Otteson from the HTC case) but PTSC has used the Hoge law from for a long time I believe and TPL has used Silicone Valley Group for a long time I think. To have all their lawyers filed to withdraw at one time is interesting. Maybe consolidating to save money?

I suspect that if the case goes on PTSC/TPL wants a different lawyer arguing their case in the court room. I listened to the appeal oral arguments and the lawyer for PTSC/TPL from NELSON BUMGARDNER P.C. was TERRIBLE!! He simply could not articulate the 336 patents inventiveness is GENERATING the frequency used to clock the CPU. He tried to squeak it in at the end somebody probably frantically texted him to say it. He stumbled through the presentation. SO it may not be terrible that another lawyer would argue. There are oral arguments scheduled for the motion for summary judgment that the defendants will probably file (due August 1). Then PTSC/TPL responds to that then defendants respond to PTSC/TPLs response then there is supposed to be a hearing on Sept.5th in front of the judge.

All above in my opinion.

OK.so.most.all the lawyers.filed.to quit.SOME POSSIBILITIES:

It is odd that they all filed to quit at the same time. What could this mean (speculation):

1. All the lawyers know the judge is about to dismiss the case through some back channel communication which I am not even sure is allowable and they are just getting their paperwork in as it will take time to process.

2. PTSC and TPL asked them to resign so they could consolidate their legal representation with one firm. This might make sense to save money and, in my opinion, their courtroom representation was terrible and made bad arguments.

Place your bets! The district court judge could simply say since the claims construction was only slightly modified and could likely not change the outcome of the case (according to the district court judges statement) he latches on to this opinion from the appeals court and ends the case. That would be bad and possibly not be appealable. I believe the court wants to end this case ASAP to be rid of a patent troll. Still if the case was about to be dismissed why would the lawyers not just keep cashing their checks until it ends shortly? Hard to figure this one out. Lawyers quitting does not look good but PTSC/TPL needs a good court room argument to win and they did not seem to have the right people based on my interpretation of the lawyers court room argument at the appeals court.

ALL above in my opinion only.

My.guess.is some well.informed.German.folks.will be.selling.in the AM! ccraider I know you post on that old German PTSC board. The timing is too perfect! I expect some YUGE volume on the downside from you folks! In my opinion! Still might not be that bad. Why would all PTSC and TPLs lawyers (all of them from what I can tell) be filing to withdraw at the same time. It seems to me they must have been asked to withdraw so PTSC can get new lawyers for the critical oral arguments. OR the judge has somehow secretly indicated the case is done and they are getting out. I am not sure that is allowed to happen and the judge would not have to hear arguments first. I am not a lawyer so what do I know. Hard to tell of course. Good luck! All in my opinion knowing nothing concrete.

PTSC has NO.LAWYERS=ABOUT.TO.DECLARE.BANKRUPTCY! FACT: All PTSCs lawyers filed to quit and we know from the financials their money is running out. In my opinion the end is very near. Their CEO/CFO has some buyout deal if PTSC gets rid of him where he gets paid a bundle I believe. That money should be the last of their cash reserves. In my opinion! NOT GOOD! I think peeps better sell before this junk goes sub 1c. Try N 2 help!
