“Barco and HTC have not yet made a final determination but expect to have a decision soon.” (Id.) However, the parties have not filed any subsequent statement informing the Court whether Barco and HTC have agreed to consent to having this case reassigned to Judge Grewal.

It is possible these two parties haven't responded to the court because they intend to settle? It could also be just another delay tactic? I still find it unusual Judge Ward couldn't come to a decision on this one point(336), of the Markman.
