Ron, sorry to keep on this thread, but it is very important, imo.

<in federal court, appeals must usually be taken from a ruling that decides the entire case --- in such a scenario, the issue of damages would remain.>

Are you saying that the courts would not entertain an appeal which would not entirely reverse a calim of infringement? Meaning, in our case, the appeal would have to be about more than just one claim and more than just one patent?

Thanks for any clarification.
