"Orders on the motions in limine (MIL), our licensing expert testimony, and order granting separate trial for HTC, which will begin immediately after Acer's trial. It looks like we won more of the motions and the most important one for me is excluding all references to the ITC initial determination in their entirety, so the jury will not be prejudiced by hearing about the ITC initial determination. We will be allowed to introduce the IEEE article about how the ShBoom microprocessor (MMP patents 336, 749 & 890) was one of the microprocessors that shook the world IF the defendants pursue invalidity arguments during trial. Our licensing expert will be allowed to testify to his base line approach for the licenses, which means we will be able to speak to the 100 licenses of the MMP to the jury and to the total revenue of the accused products. Obviously, Acer and HTC will counter about nuisance values, nevertheless, 100 companies licensing is not typicall of a non-practicing entity. The term patent troll will not be allowed in the court, NPE or similar "professional" terms allowed only. Russell Fish will be allowed to testify and TPL will be allowed to restrict commentary to some topics. The Fish testimony is a wildcard for me. Cmon, Russ! PTSC did pay you 2 million several years back, throw us a bone! There were a couple other items. We could settle with Acer and go HTC only. Who knows how this complicated mess will play out ... lol. It certainly ain't over. "

GREAT NEWS EASE !!!!. Am Pumped !!.....A little brighter now. IMO, PTSC is much stronger going into Trial (IF IF Lecky has the cajones to go to trial)....Interesting, if there are now back-to-back trials, and how this could possibly play out.

Need "Mr. LSU" to comment here. Assuming the trials are similar (In what PTSC as Complaintant will assert Acer is infringing), will HTC be precluded from sitting in the courtroom and taking notes in order to refute similar assertions Otteson will surely assert in the HTC suit????...Will the Acer trial be closed and not an open court room??.....Will Grewal make Acer attornies swear secrecy , so no crosstalk between Acer & HTC attornies will be allowed???..

Am sure there are more courtroom Tactics that could/will be employed by Otteson. To be sure, he will have his vocal skills sharpened with the 2nd trial, if there is one. Heck, a verdict could be announced in the 1st trial, that could precipitate a courtroom steps scenario by HTC, which would be very interesting decision on PTSC part, to continue or take the $$$ and run????....Many, many different scenarios could be in play here..

At a minimum, trial length will be doubled to conclude late OCt to early Nov for both trials to complete with verdicts, assuming the MSJ is denied.
