Given the obviously **** legal system in the US I suspect an appeal doesn't make sense - not only because of the limited time of the patents but above all because of the incredible ignorance of facts probably caused by a massive (financial) influence and pressure through the big industry.
So, wouldn't it be better for Otteson to concentrate on the stayed cases in order to get the most out of these? Or would an appeal simply make sense to keep the trials and negotiatons open?
