Only DM/EDIG would be privy to that, but I'll put my neck on the line and offer this opinion, that none of the CO 18 left will take us to a Markman, but it is highly likely a "biggy" in tier 2 will, when the stakes are much higher, such as AAPL maybe?

We seem to still be in the 1 - 2 mln settlement group, re: tier 1...again JMO.

RP Nov 19th at the SHM when asked if any of the CO 19 would be Markman candidates, to the best of my memory..."our goal is to reach settlements, not drag it out 3-5 years in court, but 1 or 2 in this group may want to go there."

I remain with strong feelings that the precedent set ala the 1st 8, the apparent lack of "fighting back" of the CO 19, settlements that suit both parties, move on, seems to be the common theme.

Same goes IMO in tier 1 regarding a patent review...just can't see it, and I think the word is out how strong the patents are and these outfits want to get it over with, and as cheap as they can, make a deal that fits and get back to work.

Events to date, steers my head in this direction.
