Aggie - I feel the same way. Yes we can lose in Texas, but the odds are stacked in our favor this time around. I'm taking my chances because I do feel as though the patents are rock solid AND there is no prior art. If there was, ARMHY, INTC, or AMD would have already produced it. ARM is blowing in the wind IMO... they will all settle before court time. The beauty of it is that we can't lose until a judge or jury rules on the case... just under a year away. ALOT could happen between now and then. Markman hearing is scheduled for May 2007. Often settlements occur soon after although anytime before the actual trial is a possibility and that includes the court house steps the day of. One thing I feel confident of... we are asking alot more than nuisance fees from these companies. After this is resolved it will be a heck of alot easier to approach other companies with higher fees.
