Or was TPL's presentation of the IC's so poor, the judge has to thoroughy vet all terms/language to make sure this isn't a huge waste of time and resources? Could a weak IC presentation lead to unintended claims interpretations that favor the other side ie. Barco? I know the latter is on hold until the MH has been completed. I still wonder if the sloppy job by TPL will come back to haunt us? Will the Special Master be able to keep those issues separate when offering his opinion to the Judge? Your Honor, the IC's were weak but, the language in the patents is strong. Hopefully one process doesn't bleed into another?

DISCLAIMER: I'm rambling so, I may have just weaved a tapestry of information that is completely unrelated. I've been know to do that when discussing legal issues that I know virtually nothing about!
