while we await the first of one of final rulings by USTPO (as pointed out an unfavorable outcome can be appealed), I would suggest that a reading on the PTSC board could shed some valuable insight to those who are wondering about our future endeavors. As mentioned on this board and of course the PTSC board, their patents have been challenged numerous times and upheld. However they are still going into a Markman Hearing (abeit with a stronger hand) and waiting for the Judge to make a ruling. My point isif you read some of their posters you will probably see the future of edig if the patents receive a favorable ruling.
