Thank you for further explaining my post with regard to the option that IDCC had for the appeal. They opted not to worry about the sealing and allow the arbitration to proceed without any reason for delay by Nok. However, the Sanders rulings that were reinstated by Judge Lynn are officially knocked out now. Further, the permissive viewing of the documents was limited to the Nok attorneys, but apparently were requested by the Tribunal and provided by Ericy at the evidentiary hearing. Although the panel members are lawyers and knew the status of the Sanders rulings was contested, I cannot help but believe the removal of seven patent claims from infringement consideration when coupled with the Mot evidence had some effect on the final award.
