Is there anything either party could do to cause a delay in the Markman? In other words, Would they be allowed to communicate at any level, separately or collectively, to present something that may cause the judge to delay his decision?

I realize the complexities involved and the ramifications, a decision either way, may have. But, one could say this about most patent infringement cases. With a prior Markman victory, all the recerts, all the licensed companies and the most trusted man involved saying it is a slam dunk.....do you now, at this point in time, think it has gone a little toooo long? I know you say it will happen when it happens, but are we not entering a time frame that exceeds the general norm? Most examples, I looked at, definately averaged lower in terms of days from hearing to decision.

What say you now? you must be feeling the frustration and anxiety, that I feel the majority do now. TIA good luck to us all
