TPL changed law firms around Nov 17, so in theory, the firm preparing for the Markman only spent 13 days or so working during the quarter to be reported today.
All of this is there for you to review an analyze and support why you feel the costs to prepare for the Markman that is happening later this month would be heavily weighted toward the quarter ending 2 months prior to the Markman. You can go back and look at the J3 Markman costs, I suppose, and find more evidence that would support your theory as well. Your efforts are appreciated.
