Yah, patience... that's funny. If it takes your friend 5 years to make some money on this, he'll be ahead of us, eh? Nothing has taught me more about patience than owning this stock, yet I'm convinced it's finally about to pay off. From Doc277:

June 14, 2010 - Parties file opening claim construction briefs

July 12, 2010 - Parties file responsive claim construction briefs

It should be an interesting next month Pacer-wise, although I don't know if we'll get to see these claim construction briefs or not. While I can’t rule out more settlements, the more I think about it, the more I think that one "self-evident element" might simply be a favorable Markman decision. You’d have to admit that alone would likely cause IP investors and funds to take notice.

Reminder: The actual date for the Markman hearing is to be set on 07/30/2010.

I wonder how much luck DM is having in getting answers to their discovery questions.
