Ease,

I take exception with your version of the "instruction groups" discussion. I don't think we lost anything.

From my reading of this, "right justified" is simply the preferred method, therefore plaintiffs didn't need to include that wording in the claim. From the Pacer posted by Wolf, "The plaintiffs contend that right justified operands are a feature of the preferred embodiment". So I don't think that because the court recognized the preferred practice of "right justified" takes anything away from our case.

Further, the plaintiffs wanted the "32-bit length" while the defendants wanted to exclude it. Clearly, from the courts ruling, this was in our favor.

So based on the above, I feel this ruling did not hurt us any, but, in fact, may have been in our favor.
