jd, the other thing about the phrase "modest delay" was probably not used by IDCC's attorneys. They probably wrote and explained how the delay could turn into a very big delay and Nokia's attorneys when filing the motion used poetic license to change IDCC's intent from a "Huge f'n delay" into "modest delay" LOL. I have no doubt IDCC's attorneys would never have said that the delay would be modest. If anything they probably painted the picture that the delay could be more than a year but to Nokia's counsel, that was a modest delay in terms of how long this has been ongoing. Words like modest are all defined by the person using it. A modest fine to Bill Gates could be measured in the millions but to me it would be measured in the single digits LOL.

That is an absolute gross misrepresentation of the comments by the CCA. Nowhere can one glean that IDCC lawyers laid down on the job from that statement. We do not know what HARM IDCC lawyers espoused to the panel that would be inflicted upon IDCC in the event of the so-called "modest delay." For all we know, they laid out everything everyone's been crying about since the decision. The panel simply did not buy it, or chose to ignore it. Bottom line is: that's the nature of our judiciary. Gonna win cases you should lose, and lose some you should win. The CCA in this case, right or wrong, decided that the delay is not IRREPARABLE. Even if harm is SUBSTANTIAL, as Loop so eloquently explained, it is IRREPARABLE that is the key in this decision. The two terms are not synonomous. Come on guys! Lay off the lawyers. Look at their track record for other clients and tell me they are slouches. Read the motion to sever again and tell me they don't know their case. We are given only bits and pieces of facts and testimony. The rest is either redacted or sealed. Pretty tough (IMHO) to make a judgemnt as to the quality of our legal team based on less than the whole story. Everyone needs to lighten up and let this thing play out. What's it gonna be? IDCC lawyers suck, or there is a political conspiracy? If we were still trading at $36/share, I wonder if our lawyers would still suck.
BTW: I am an attorney and long since 1998, and not going anywhere til bankruptcy or vindication.
