Sorry to bother you with basic legal questions but if what you say below is true than what harm is there in letting the ITC case move forward to answer the vailidity and infringement question while a parallel case determines licensing. Why do these actions have to happen sequentially and why does the order matter (licensing prior to validity/infringement)?
"Nok is not admitting anything. They are pleading that the patents are invalid, their products do not infringe, if they are wrong about the first two items, they are licensed under the TDD agreement, if that is wrong, they have a french fried implied license."
