Then

#1. If a settlement has been reached and both sides are just finalizing papers for Judge Ward, then it would seem that the settlement may have a positive impact on the outcome of the re-exam If this is the case, then the Js would no longer care what the out come is. Future infringers might care, however.

The flip side is, if they believe we are asking for too much money, they may want to wait for the results of the re-exam. TT & C may also be waiting so that they will be ready with a MSJ for even more money when the results of the re-exam are in our favor.

Does this seem logical, or should I just sit and color.

By the way, last week I called Judge Ward's office and spoke with one of his law clerks. I identified myself as an investor in PTSC and made it perfectly clear that my call was to seek information about procedures and not about the case. I asked what happens when a stay ends. That being said, the law clerk told me that he was uncomfortable discussing the subject with me.

Please, spare me the comments about why I should not have called the judge's office. My dime, my question, results shared.

Good luck to all of us
