"That our earning release will have no up side surprises!"

Why should we see any surprises BEFORE the results of the MH are out and further actions can be expected based on the MH result? If I was TPL/PTSC I would put all negotiations with other companies on hold until this piovital decision has been made.

IMHO PTSC has the following time reckoning:

- b.MH. = before the results of the Markman Hearing are known

- a.MH. = after the results of the MH are known

Provided the results of the MH are positive and the actions thereafter are well-planned and successful I'm sure things (e.g. shareprice) will never be the same.
The same goes with a "negative" MH for our side, but I don't want to consider this now...lol...
