As Ron has said on many occasions, both sides are paid extremely well to articulate arguments in a manner that will convince and ultimately prevail for all concerned parties. In reading the latest filing, my primary concern lies with the fact that Barco appeared to enter the latest round with a slight upper hand. I think the SM believes our patents are valid, TPL just did a poor job regarding the local patent rules in conjuction with their IC's. The latest filing clearly attempts to convince the SM that once again TPL's references fail to meet local rules in clearly connecting Barco's products with the amended IC's. This is where Ron's reminder comes in handy for the lay person like myself. After reading the latest filing, but without reading TPL's newly referenced material, one would be concerned that Barco has us in a bad spot. I probably wouldn't feel this way but, DL's statement about a slam dunk immediately gave me bad feelings. I tend to be Freudian in nature so, I look at the Ford release and now this and can't help but wonder if it was all coordinated for strategic purposes. I think the SM thought the patents were strong, he was just grossly unsatisfied with the weak "potential" infringement connection. As a lay person, I have no idea if Barco's latest arguments are valid but, damn they sure sound good.
