The War of the Words! Talk about a tongue lashing - man!
And this is the second time I've seen this:
"The sole reason ARM opposes this motion is because it has the "potential" to disrupt the trial date, which may effect ARM's customers and licensees. [Opp., p. 1.]"
Though it is our team saying this, I believe they are words out of ARM's "mouth". It implies a sense of urgency and ARM customer unrest. External pressures to resolve this thing?
And then there's this:
"In conclusion, Plaintiffs' Motion to Amend should be granted. The motion is in compliance with this Court's November 7 order and with this Court's Patent Local Rules. 7 Moreover, contrary to ARM's implication, Plaintiffs are providing Defendants, including ARM, copies of all communications between Plaintiffs and all third parties relating to the patents-insuit, including ARM's licensees, and ARM is free to contact those licensees regarding Plaintiffs' infringement contentions."
And how many of OUR licensees used ARM chips? And how many include language in their sales agreements advising customers to contact TPL re: MMP infringement? (thus, IMO, acknowledging infringement).
I'm wondering if this isn't a back-door method of getting all this paper (huge in our favor) before the eyes of Judge Ward? (better hurry! LOL).
I KNOW nuttin'!
