"I was hoping for a Samsung settlement without what appears to be an obvious roadblock but I'm not sure I'd view this as a bad thing. The fact that their lawyers have produced, what'd you say silver, 900 pages of documents, lends me to believe the monitary licensing demand was very significant. The lawyers expense to Samsung to produce that kind of effort must be hugh. So if there is a silver lining I'd say that the outcome of positive settlement is that the fee's are hugh. The down side is that a settlement may have to wait one or two years. I'm not sure if a new markman hearing date get set or they piggy back on to the existing Vivitar date that is already scheduled for May 2010."

To me it's a good thing to now put the screws on.....collectively they got at lest 10 mill from the first six....the question is, is it enough to push Samsung around...keeping in mind that DM is working at cost...?

Samsungs Markman Hearing is scheduled for Feb 2010.

My vote, lets go for broke on this baby

I'm not going to worry about what I might lose.

Shake the dice and throw.
