GREAT NEWS...

The following statement is the crux of the probelm with the Ruling by Judge Marcia Kreiger. As Edig claims:...

"The fundamental problem with Defendants’ argument is that it is based on mischaracterizations of the Applicant’s use of the phrase “main memory.” The Applicant used main memory to refer to the memory for storing sound electrical signals that have been received and processed (i.e., as another way of describing the “sole memory” limitation to which the Applicant and Examiner reached agreement during the in-person interview); not the RAM used for processing the audio signal. (See July 20,1995 Amendment(attached to Pl. Op. Br. as Exh. 10) at p. 11)."

It is signficant that EDIG and the EXAMINER HAVE REACHED AN GREEMENT which provides that whence EDIG "AMEND [(S) THE] CLAIMS TO INCLUDE LIMITATION THAT WILL EXPRESSLY STATE THAT THE FLASH MEMORY IS THE SOLE MEMORY TO STORE THE RECEIVED PROCESSED SOUND ELECTRICAL SIGNAL. EXAMINER AGREED THAT SUCH ALIMITATION WOULD OVERCOME SCHRODER AND SHE WOULD UPDATE SEARCH ACCORDINGLY"

Folks, this is another way of saying that WE ARE WAITING FOR THE EXAMINER TO UPDATE HER SEARCH and issue her written approval...

HAPPY NEW YEAR...
