30 days came and went... no news.
Bashers start appearing more than seen as of late...
Perhaps no news of a settlement is EXACTLY what we need (and the BIG MONEY that pays the bashers knows this as well)
Scenario:
PTSC does not settle. Too much to let go for such a small amount. They always WANTED a court DETERMINATION that the PATENT is THEIRS and ENFORCEABLE. No more of this "let's settle for 2 cents on the dollar, (Insert George Carlin Word 1 here) let's get the judgement once and for all, for us and the shareholders.
Big Money now sees the lack of settlement as a positive... that as well as the Markman Hearing, the track record of the venue of the Court ...(odds in PTSC's favor..) and the fact that the J's big money and legal team has not gotten the case dismissed... even after all they have done to this point to do so.
If PTSC was to have settled, Big Money would be less interested... in that at some point, PTSC will have (possibly) had to re-start the case if another (group) of infringers decided to fight the allegations... or they would 'settle' for cents on the dollar. Plus they still would have no legal proof (judgement) of the patents in their favor.
PTSC needs the Judgement. Now that they have shown they are willing, ready and able to take it there in front of the JUDGE, Big Money is now looking at PTSC much more closely.. and the bashers coming into the picture only strengthen that observation.
The extra time in the meanwhile gives Big Money time to get positions established... at these prices... as well as those of us not falling for the FUD.
Then again... I could be way off the mark.
But I have actually put MY hard earned money into my opinion... we'll see.
I challenge a basher to tell me at what level they have or are in the process of selling PTSC short at.
Put yer money (o.k., someone else's money technically for the 'short' term) where yer mouth is.. just be prepared to pay back that 'someone else' soon.
