"Of course, as a practical matter, TPL could do whatever is possible to "stall" the T3 cases for the sake of paying more attention to the Core Flash case since the latter doesn't involve PTSC and is thus theoretically worth more money to TPL. This would be loosely analogous to what TPL has already done with licensing, i.e., by putting more emphasis on its private patent portfolios that it doesn't share with PTSC. "
Thanks, Ron.
I guess that is what I was wondering about.
Time is not on our side. Any impediment, at all, would not be beneficial. TPL handling their litigations in different jurisdictions would, I assume, take away from time being spent on the T3.
Do we know if the judge sitting on the T3 case is going to see this case through completion ? If not, how long could it take before the new judge determines claim construction has been going on long enough, and call for trial ?
As with the J3, the favorable Markman outcome really didn't have much effect. Sure..the J3 settled as we were entering the court room for trial, but look what it got us. Some might consider the settlement a victory, but with the size of the infringing parties...they got by with a light slap on the wrist. Wished we knew what the J3 and TPL really settled on. Terms or monetary value. We know litigation costs for PTSC were more than what the J3 ponied up for what PTSC recieved for licenses.
The fruit is turning bad on the tree.
