What people are failing to understand is that our goal is not to finalize an injunction in January 2014, it is to obtain an initial determination of infringement in early September with the threat of an injunction to obtain a reasonable royalty rate. As long as we want a reasonable royalty rate, we are fine. If we are trying to ban imports then I could see the President possibly not signing an injunction. What is important to understand here is these major companies IMO will not rely on the President not signing an ITC injunction. Talk about risking your products and shareholder interests and waiting to the last minute to determine if your products will get to market. These CEOs are beholden to shareholders and most if not all are very risk averse. To pay, say, a one time 50 million payment would be an acceptable outcome. Let us worry about the ALJ finding infringement first. That is the most important step first and I finally understand our detailed argument, which is a good one, and will hopefully prevail. I also thnk I understand the questions we would've asked the experts to have them reinforce our theory. The question is how did the big companies counter and will the ALJ buy what we are selling.
