Question for Ron, or anyone for that matter... Were there, or are there, technical/legal reasons why they did not want to sign any licenses prior to the BK decisions? And to that point, could any of the parties, including the third party from Texas (forget their name), have sent out notices prior to the BK or is the receipt date of such a notice an issue? In other words, if they were served prior to the BK decision, is that the binding date for any settlement?
I would have to believe that the divide and conquer list was developed, submitted and agreed to and that everyone is eager and ready to get infringment notices out is full force.
On another note, wouldn't the BK decision and the referenced list be material information that should have been announced?
