first of all once more thank you for you legal input which is highly appreciated!

I know, that you posted that a settlement between HTC and TPL/PTSC may happen "everytime" even during the trial a couple of days ago.

However, wouldn't you mind to once more let us know your experience&thoughts concerning following questions:

- What is usually going on in court the next couple of days form today's start?

- Do we have to wait in case of the trial till 4th October or even later to see a ruling rsp. is there definitely a ruling/result a the end of 4th October?

- Could it happen that they settle even at 4th October?

- Who decides in case of an infringement the penalty sum and is that sum fixed at the end of the trial?

Many thanks in advance!
