rob,

I do not think anybody is arguing over the merits of NOK arguments. It all depends on the willingness of the ITC to hear the case. I posted yesterday the rules under which the ITC will hear a case. It does not take very much. loophole has very choice words to describe the ICC and they are all very appropriate.
