I also happen to be an attorney, and yes, that is what the ruling means. We go forward in Texas, and other actions are stayed (put on hold) pending the outcome of the Texas actions. Lots of case precedence, and frankly I would have been surprised had the court ruled otherwise.

All good news, though remember this does not have anything to do with the viability of the underlying patents. It merely allows us to proceed in litigation in Texas (which at the least has a faster docket) then California, which is, shall we say, ``Intel friendly.``

I just cracked a cold blackberry porter bottle of ale. Yum.

And its` only 12:52 here (California).

Onward.
