What's imperative is Summary Judgment = TRIAL.

Judge Andrews is to provide a summary judgment (Hearing in 9 days, 11/25) to decide if a jury is to hear ChanBond's case, that is, to allow this to go to trial.

Unquestionably, this is essential and the most vitally important next step. It's basically live or die.

"A motion for summary judgment (sometimes called an “MSJ”) is a request for the court to rule that the other party has no case, because there are no facts at issue. The party making the motion is claiming that either the case should not go before a jury at all, or a jury could only rule in favor of the moving party".

Facts are in dispute so should (hopefully and in all likelihood) move forward.

Unfortunately, no one here, nor the plaintiffs, know for certain the outcome of the case; hence, the lawsuit.

But I understand and realize the impact and importance if found to be a Standard Essential Patent. It will be felt industry-wide.

First, infringement must be proven or disproved of the MSO's blatant infringement.

One would conclude, Mishcon, Bayard and Billy (and the inventors) know of CableLabs and their patents and what it would mean to be a SEP.

They'll do everything possible to show and prove this is a SEP.

Odds are highly in our favor infringement has occurred.

As we know, the defense is doing everything possible to deny, delay and dodge their owning-up to the facts.

It's one step at a time.

And who knows, maybe the plaintiffs have "An ace in-the-hole".

Here are all the USPTO patents with CableLabs referenced again.
