I don’t think there needs to be an extension for court dates with the 13.
1. The fact that the CAFC is willing to schedule court dates is very optimistic, I think it shows that the courts actually agree that there is substance to our appeal.
2. If we win the Cisco appeal that is icing on the cake,
3. if we don’t win the appeal we still have a very solid case because we own two other patents and we own most of the 822 patent..
4. The RPX Supreme Court case is waiting for the solicitor general.
5. The new Arris appeal is hoping to be heard due to the fact that they filed an IPR over a year late. It just shows that Arris is trying to stagger the IPRs to force our team under, to quit, by trying to cost us out with legal fees. The PTAB and other courts have recognized this tactic and that is why they put the time limits in place originally, because big corporations are just using big money for force patent holders under.
6. Number 5 is the reason that Carter and team are not patent trolls.... they are not a big corporation, they had the inventors searching out help because they realized they were getting the shaft. Carter and Whitman know the business they have planned for all the eventualities and all these court cases will continue down parallel paths until it is finished. If this was done in serial we wouldn’t be done until 2025 or later.
