That is an absurd premise. The author is saying because Vringo didn't give google a start date how farback to look they can throw anything in now. Vringo has amazing lawyers, of course if not giving the other side a start date for prior art search opens you up to this move google is using....of course vringo lawyers would have given a date. No way that is what is happening here.

Who is this Kid (person), should I follows/acts accordingly per the article posted/reads, a reliable source?:

...Anyway, the patent issue is very much not clear cut (that really shouldn’t come as a surprise!). Those who are telling you that VRNG has a slam dunk case here are lying to you. Those who are telling you that GOOG will easily win a summary judgement and get all the claims thrown out are lying to you. Those who are not attorneys who specialize in patent law or are not spending hours talking to such attorneys about this case are probably almost completely useless. I say that because I have talked to multiple attorneys and patent lawyers about this case and even they acknowledge it’s not easy to handicap.

My layman’s evaluation of the scenario is that GOOG will not want a jury trial: I think that juries in general probably don’t like “patent trolls,” but I also think that a jury would have a tough time understanding any defense that GOOG would offer at trial. However, I have still been unable to gain any sort of confidence as to what the results of these motions regarding prior art will be, what the significance of the content of the prior art is, and thus the likelihood that GOOG could get summary judgement. Maybe I’ll do another post in the future talking about potential settlement numbers should GOOG’s latest salvos fail, and what they would mean for VRNG in terms of value per share.

Nothing is easy in the markets – there is no free money. Beware of anyone who tells you otherwise.


Thanks! any good leads (ers) much needs in this time of pending$!
