"[t]his is the first time they've litigated their patents to finality and they lost.''
I can point out a couple of things in response to this statement:
1. It only applied to one patent not "patents" - the 584 only.
2. We never sued ARM directly for infringement - they intervened and forced the issue. Point being, perhaps we knew it was a weak claim to begin with. Technically the matter was never fully litigated - we lost the claim construction and then stipulated to non-infringement based on that construction (which we appealed and lost)
What I dont know is what impact this all has on the big picture (see my prior post)
