Larry... I think what he (the Judge) means is that he doesn't want to invest all the neccessary time in a Claim Construction only to risk having the parameters of the patent Claims themselves change and then have to redo all the work/time they put into that initial construction because it no longer fits with the new Claims..
Altho I certainly would like him to just reach out and use Judge Ward's.. it would certainly save time & money.. and make us all very happy to boot..
corrections welcomed
Hope biz is good
