I talked with a POC this AM. They consider the patents as a group of 3.

The POC said it "could possibly all be done by the beginning of January but no guarantees." Again, I was on and off the phone in less than one minute.

Obviously, the review is extremely time consuming. They cannot guarantee because of the complexity but it seems to me that they will complete and are probably being pressured big time to complete prior to trial.

Anyone who says this is obvious belongs in a mental institution and I believe that Chuck Moore shot down the idea of prior art.

I believe PTO is doing the best job they can. There is no one there that is any smarter than Judge Ward. Our board analysts have studied this up and down. Pubpat threw in the monkey wrench with prior art. PTO must prove Pubpat's belief of prior art is false and that Moore and Fish invented a new technology that didn't exist prior to their patents.

It is possible that East TX has called up. Think about it. The court coming out with one decision and PTO coming out with a different one in the same timeframe. Sounds like a fiasco to me. I am sure everyone is tense to the max not just on this board but TPL/PTSC and J3. Everything is riding on this for us but TPL knows best and has studied these patents more than anyone. They know what they have.
