For what it is worth, in speaking with an attorney friend and experienced litigator the other day, he said that in jury trials held on the "home court" commonly result in a verdict in favor of the "home team". in this case it is Taiwan Vs the USA so to speak. People in the Bay Area are more tech savvy than most areas of the country and are likely aware of the fact that there is a history of IP theft out of Asia as it often makes front page news in the SJ Mercury. He also felt that juries listen to the facts with their heads but often vote with their gut feelings when facts are not completely cut and dried or overwhelmingly convincing either way. The wild card is if there is one holdout preventing a verdict if a unanimous verdict is required.

On another point, I for one would not mind the share price not rising so long as the dividend payouts eventually returned everyone's paper losses with a bonus at the end. One can only hope that the BoD do not make another attempt at ill advised aqusitions of doomed companies.
