"If I was GOOG's counsel, I'd be pushing leadership very hard for a settlement now" That's probably what happened with MSFT's counsel after seeing VRNG scoring big victory in court late last year.
Thank You for your insight. It has been my opinion that the optimal time for Google to make a settlement offer was just before the trial started. This would have saved them a lot of money. Perhaps they felt their case was strong and they could win? As the WSJ article indicates their comment post trial is still one of arrogance, even after the jury decision they implied that ultimately they would prevail. Msft is very different than Google. If you look at their cases they generally are more willing to be reasonable and not apply a scorched earth policy that Google seems to desire.
Next week, we (Vringo shareholders) will get off to a good start. I calculate once the stock price reaches the $3.50 area there will be some very uncomfortable shorts here. I envision rapid movement upwards once we get there.
