respectfully disagree with your thought process..........

as stated below

....."now that the patents are validated by a court...don't be surprised to see this refiled & tried in another court/state............as well as heavy settlement discussions initiated by atvi.... leading up to march 27, 2014"

The questions people should be asking all relate to the newer priority date.

If World's can't use the priority date of the 1995 provisional app, and now only has protection since the filing date of the '045 patent in November 1996, what does that offer ATVI in its defense of any future complaints?

Did the court not say that World's inventions were in public use for over a year before the effective date of the patent filing? What kind of hurdles does this present for Worlds asserting its intellectual property rights going forward?

As we wait to see what happens next and assess the potential monetization opportunity Worlds is now left with, the realities of patent law will eventually form the market's fundamental valuation of WDDD.

In the interim, this is a trader's dream.

Time wise you can't compare WDDD to VRNG. Google didn't drag it out, the jury's mistake of putting the decimal in the wrong spot drew it out (likelihood of that happening again is slim). Had the jury been competent in 6th grade math, then VRNG would have been settled a good 8 months earlier.

This being said, WDDD is a strong hold imo. There is a huge chance of dilution before anything is settled (maybe March 27th we'll get something). I'm saving my dry-powder incase this thing crashes down to .07 from a dilution. I'm still pissed I missed the boat yesterday (low of .056... WOW!!!)
