The only reason for her to review CC issues 3-8 is because the defense lost on CC issues 1 and 2 triggering a need to review 3-8."...

FIRST:...

Your statement is contrary to what Hon. Judge M. Krieger said in open Court...

As Silversurfer reported the Judge was heard to state something like "If the ruling on the first 2 claims is Dispositive of the case I will not rule on the remaining [6] claims..."

According to your logic, the judge has already ruled on the first 2 claims for EDIG, thus she is taking longer to rule on the 6 remaining claims?!?...

Which part of the Judge's statement you are having diffculty understanding? She already has said that if she ruled on both claims for EDIG she is not ruling on the remaining 6...

SECOND:...

You are assuming that the Judge is compelled to Rule on the 6 remaining claims just because the defense attorneys ASKED her to do so if she rules for EDIG on the firts 2 Claims?!?...

NOT SO...

I f you re-read page10 of Silversurfer's report, the Judge boxed attoneys for both sides by asking, in open Court, as a matter of record, what they wanted done about the remainig 6 claims, as all the evidence on 1/28/2011 Hearing focused only on the first 2 claims of the 8 submitted for "Construction" by the Court...

After some fast thinking "On their Feet" our side told the Court as follows:...

Plaintiff is OK with your Honor construing the remaining six (6) claims based on their plain and ordinary meaning. Unless defendants want them construed,in which case our submitted definitions stand.

So far Mr. Jameson has told the Court (1) If your Honor rules for the plaintiff on the first 2 claims, then your Hon.can apply the [Plain and Orinary Meaning of the words] Rule of the Phillips case to the next 6 claims and dispose of the case. (2) Unless defense wants the 6 claims [constructed], in which case our written definitions stand.

Defense lawyers asked for a time out, and went to another room to have a confab. When they reconvened, Cohen spoke and said that (1) unless she ruled for the defendants on the first two construction claims mentioned (above), which would basically end this case, then the defense would want all claims ruled on. The judge then said something like, “OK, if these two claims are ruled as dispositive to the case, I won’t rule on the other claims.”

The problem you are having is with what is the meaning of the words "dispositive to the case," as used by the Judge in addressing the Attorneys in open Court....

Here is the Dictionary meaning of the words"
