I have to say it is nice to see posts more about the patents....

I'm going to dare to say what I think could happen near term.

The '336. Based on the opinions of many, we may be looking pretty good. IF we provide no statement to the PTO and the PTO acts quickly in our favor (i.e., NIRC and/or re-ex app rejected), then things could quickly fall into place. Recall that a stay was granted based on PTO re-exam activity. Thus, a settlement may be forthcoming, or should I say settlementS. Re-exams behind us, litigation behind us, cash in the bank. And maybe then the touted "waves".

In a nutshell....

Wild speculation.

'Cuz I KNOW nuttin'!

I suspect that some, maybe many, among us are thinking along similar lines. They aren't saying it, but they're thinking it. And this would further explain the recent, what appeared to me to be, unbridled, credibility-be-damned, bash and buy activity.

People talk of how this period of time is the BoD's last chance (though I still don't get it). Perhaps such attention/statement is pointed in the wrong direction, at the wrong group of people. Shareholders? Fence-sitting share buyers?

Delusions make my nipples tingle with delight! LOL
