The NDoC venue had two Markmans to define all the terms and both Ware and Grewal reviwed them. That should hold up on appeal. Judge Grewal being an IT attorney should hopefully also help. As for the wilfulness going forward, I bet TPL and PTSC will be sending a letter to every single company notified and any other new would-be infringers letting them know the federal court if northern california has ruled in their favor regarding ring oscillators in PLLs. As of October 3rd, 2013, all infringers should now be on notice that a jury could easily find that they now wilfully infringe the 336. We have ~2 yrars left of wilful infringement. And then we have 6 years after that to collect on that wilful infringement. Good luck to us!
