Thanks for responding.

I'll go one step farther. IMO it was us that did not want to go to court. We had a successful markman ruling and it seemed we had the upper hand, but the remaining issue of validity, if decided by the court, would have removed our great advantage of an ex-parte reexamination by the USPTO. The J's could appeal any unfavorable decision the court makes...not so with the reexam. The J's could argue their case in court....not so with a reexam. We could have lost a huge advantage by having the court determine validity. Why take a chance? Now the question is...What and how much did we give up for a settlement? As much as I wanted to nail them to the wall, I think we did the smart thing for the long range big picture.

P.S. I have not sold one share of my holdings in PTSC. But I call them the way I see them.
