"Either the CAFC vacates the IPR rulings on the RPI issue or its remanded with a CAFC reprimand and likely the PTAB will vacate the ruling. iMO "
I'm not sure that's any different from what I said. The CAFC either decides on its own and ignores what the PTAB said or they remand it. I heard nothing that said the PTAB would "likely vacate the ruling" - the World's attorney was very clear that he believed the PTAB would just rule as it did inititially and therefore argued against a remand as a waste of time - reprimand be da**ed.
..those inferring Worlds wasn’t prepared to pointed questions that is absolutely incorrect, every issue raised was addressed. [u]
Addressing an issue doesn't mean it was answered. When asked whether another case could apply instead of Utah, the lawyer repeats " I believe Utah applies". He doesn't address why the other case doesn't. That's not answering what the judge asked.
You were there. I wasn't, but I guess we hear what we want to hear. I don't see this as a solid win at all for WDDD. If you believe this threesome is bold enough to go with a contract and little else- like a declaration that can offer examination of the one attesting - to overturn the PTAB and rule Bungie an RPI, than you have a higher opinion of that crew than I do.
I see a remand here- most likely with strong instruction - but the PTAB isn't mandated to follow that and a remand is detrimental to the share price.
Only time will tell.
