IMO all three cases will be petitioned to be moved to Texas where the Markman was held. On the other hand with the patents in re-exam they will be postponed till that is decided...which can be many months from now(remember 18-24 months usually for a re-exam to be completed)

As far as the interruption with a filing of an injunction, IMO that was not on the table, (those with more background please correct me) because for that to happen they would now have to be ruled in court as an infringer or lose any other basis of the cases and then injunction being asked for to stop manufacturing would then be an option.

With cases now filed, with us as defendants, we are in limbo with these three till either we get the results we need from the re-exam and then either a settlement right before any trial date or a continuation of the process that includes setting a date for a trial and the actual trial itself.

If transferred to Texas, and then subsequently postponed till the re-exam is completed favorably, let's guess another 4-5 months for discussion sakes, only then will a trial date be set which would probably be sometime in 1st quarter of next year(based on usual time delays), court open dates and the usual lawyer posturing of asking for delays till information is gathered and exchanged.

This is to me a play for delay of time against us and another way for us to spend time money and resources that we had not expected and keeps these three companies in a state of uncertainty as for as infringment dollars forced upon them, at least for what we wanted.

Obviously these three companies saw the cost of litigation as a lot less costly then paying what we probably asked for. just one of the problems encountered when we ask for BIG dollars from possible infringers.

Guess we can rule out hearing of any settlement from these 3 for awhile.
