that the main reason we settled with the J3 for basically our legal fees and a little more is because the J3's had very very deep pockets and very very good attorney's that were willing/able and "wanted" to go all the way to a Jury trial to try and SPIN the "Invalidity" card while the USPTO was still in session.

Did PTSC/TPL want to RISK the Validity of our patents with a JURY or laymen???

I read the Thaden prior art claims and "I" have many questions.

What would a JURY have been thinking? Probably NO IEEE's on that Jury. Just the lawyers explaining and spinning at them from both sides.

Who would the Jury believe? Would the Jury even understand the technology?

That IMO is the MAIN and ONLY Reason we shut up and settled.

We need this Validation from the USPTO. If the 148 comes out strengthened, that bodes very well for the 336 IMO.

They are brother's no?

Anyway, that's my two cents for today............can I apply it to the SP for ALL OF US??? hee hee
