If patent office would jump the gun and preempt the court's decision, their action could be interpreted as an attempt to marginalize federal court's authority over this case, practically making court irrelevant...i believe that employees of patent office do not have that clout, so wisest thing for these bureaucrats to do is to sit low, wait for court's decision and when given all clear from their bosses, publish their decision...
Don’t you think that withholding vital information would be against the law? everyone has a systematic way of dealing with their cases (it is even more prevalent in government) and ALL of their employees take additional courses throughout their careers learning those system ... for the exact reason of validation.and ... if the defense were to suspect any incredible information that would help their case was going to be unveiled then they surly would NOT enter into advanced negotiations ... there is waaaaay too much ego and reputation involved for that. IRONICALLY I think that the longer the case drags on the larger the settlement and one of the reasons driving that thought is because of all the uncertainty that is still out there ... what is even more ironic is that if there is a settlement then we could see the defense actually ROOT for the patents!!!!!! WOULDNT THAT BE NICE FOR A CHANGE!!!!!!!!!!!
course it is all just my own opinion. THE WARCRY (GLTA)
