Thanks for taking this topic down a notch. I had no intention of getting anyone emotional about this topic.

Re: "do you have any idea of when these new laws will be in effect"

No more than I have any idea of when ITC will resolve or if Obama will go along with an import injuction. One of my key points was that Obama has taken a public position that might suggest what his inclinations will be when it comes time to let an ITC import injunction pass.

"Obama will be asking Congress to bring the standards of the International Trade Commission, which is prone to awarding injunctions like one it granted Samsung recently, into line with federal courts, where money damages, not injunctions, have become the preferred remedy for patent infringement."

Stay real.
