"I too am hoping this goes to Markman because then all new defendants will roll over quickly. Then EDIG will enjoy many large settlements for years to come, assuming we win."

I to want it to go the distance for a ruling....the story is either real and bonafide by a court's opinion, or it's nothing. The holdout amount that pushes this to the ultimate consideration is not important, as long as it does the job.

I'm willing to lose what I have involved and go for broke.
