Just for discussion's sake I will take the other side--at this point in time, who would sell if the 10-k comes out weak? Whoever owns this stock is anticipating bigger and better things in the future--past financials virtually meaningless. The Markman results could come in 2 hours, 2 days, 2 weeks, or 2 months--the company is not privy to the judge's thoughts. Finally, the company is obviously aware of any settlement negotiations that may be on going. Trying to couple possible settlement announcements with other news seems like the most probable to me.

I am curious about the lack of a press release regarding the Summit situation. Everyone is assuming that the pacer filing meant that there was a settlement. Is there any other reason that both sides could decide to go their separate ways at this stage of the proceedings? Any thoughts?
