LL, I admit I thought a settlement was highly likely today and was both surprised and disappointed with the outcome. I broke my own rule of not expecting a specific result. Perhaps they will continue negotiating where they left off today. If not, the Court has indicated it will rule on EDIG's motion for partial summary judgment (Doc 214) in January 09. If we don't win that motion, and don't settle, the trial is scheduled for May 09...and with more IP settlements possible, not likely, by then. LOL
