Of course, narrowed claims are enforceable only prospectively from the date a reexamination certificate actually issues, typically several years later, meaning that any damages accumulated prior to that date for infringement of the narrowed claims would effectively be erased.
I'm beginning to wonder if we have maybe begun to run into the above situation with the modified claims of our patents. Doesn't mean at all that the patents are worthless - maybe just worth less? Thus Trednnicks comments about the need to move on to a revenue stream that is a little more predictable.
With that being said, I'm still looking for more news soon, hopefully today(it's late).
I believe the technology is still strong. However, we may have lost some of the "look back" to our infringement claims. Thoughts anyone.
Speculation only.
