I just reviewed the original filings and happened to note that the attorneys representing each of the T3 was White and Case LLP.

I think most here assumed TPL caved in to Asustek in order to have a shot at transferring venue to Texas. But would they do that knowing the same attorneys represent Acer and HTC? Is is possible to come to an agreement with the company w/o the attorneys being informed of the details? Even if it was a rolled up amount for MMP and flash patents, wouldn't that still be providing too much info?

If the Dec 22nd settlement actually had nothing to do with the attempt to change venue, what might have been behind it? The 749 was nowhere yet. The 584 got a final rejection on Dec 5th. That only left the 336 representing the MMP plus the flash patents. They had Moore's response to the 336 OA on Sept 8th. That may have gotten their attention. What else happened leading up to the Dec 22nd settlement pr may have influended Asustek?

Anyone have any thoughts on that? Opty
