You state;

"Let me reiterate that the idea of a supplemental brief was brought by me, and me alone, here on the board.  There was no mention of such at the Markman hearing, i.e., the Judge did not say one way or the other whether the invited or wanted such, nor did Mr. Cook indicate any intention of doing so.  I raised the subject because, under similar circumstances (and I have been involved in quite a few), it is what I would do in order to be sure that I had properly represented my client.  The most the Judge can do is say "no", and it is highly doubtful that he would be angered by a lawyer who is merely trying to be helpful."...

I also recall you saying Judge Ward declared the case Submited for decision at the end of the Markman Hearing...

Unless there was reservation of the right to file additional briefs that closed the door on the parties to further communicate with the Court in any form unless additional Motions are filed...

Thus we sit and wait...
