Not one to post my trades, especially since I don't make many.  I like to buy and hold.  But picked up an additional 20K today at .59.

I think the sharp increase in frequency of signings, coupled with the stay (even though now ended) and an apparent non-opposed stay request by the J's, leads me to conclude a settlement of some sort is going to happen within 2 weeks.  Even though the sp isn't moving much on license news, I do think that is because significant money (institutional or large investor) won't bite in until they have some clarity on the legal front.  They won't mind being a little late as with their purchasing power, they'll be able  to control the move up a bit, if that is indeed the direction of the move.

Therefore, little guy like me can gamble that the stars are indeed aligned and that these recent spate of signings are PTSC/TPL telling those guys that you better sign now as in a few weeks, this negotiated amount we've agreed to will be pulled from the table and significantly higher.

The other scenario could be that TPL/PTSC has concerns that the climate has turned against them, and that they better sign everyone they can even if it's a sweetheart deal, so they'll have cash to weather a drawn out legal battle and appeal.

That being said, I doubt with the Markman, the signings to date, and the joint stay motion, that the second scenario is likely, so I'm rolling the dice that my upside is now 20K shares better.
