If you read the judges ruling....you can see how important the appeal is to the other patents.

It's a gamble for the defendants to join in on the appeal....they can settle now for whatever the parties have come to realize as damages....or they can join the appeal and gamble on the results to be in their favor....if it's not, it should cost them more if the result is positive for e.Digital.

We are now all gambling on the outcome...place your bets and do not come back winning about your loss.
