First of all, we do not even know that there is any new outcome no matter where the PTO goes with the reexams...that's speculation...that a positive reexam leads to more money from the J's...

Second, if that even was a contingency...the POSSIBILITY of that happening leading to an agreed upon further payment to us for a positve reexam...is INSIDER INFO....that would be an agreed upon contingency and since not made public...would keep them from trading the stock...just like the POSSIBILITY that a company XYZ would accept our offer of a buyout....no one knows but the insiders at the company that a buyout offer was made but that pssibility of acceptance of our offer would keep our insiders from buying the stock of XYZ.

Info of that type of contingent possibility would fall under the insider trading laws....as the SEC chairman said...

"those persons having access to information "intended to be available for only a corporate purpose and not for the benefit of anyone" MUST observe the "abstain or disclose" principal. They must abstain from trading or disclose the information in their possession to the trading public"
