With that problem, do you all understand how close we were of not being able to file the response due 3-24-16?

Purcell is in NY...where Handal needed to conduct depositions in CA. to submit for the response.

They're waiting on the PTAB to rule on Handals acceptance and it's not happening...Handal can't conduct until he's excepted.

IMVHO, Mary, in CA, was brought in on emergency as the new lead....to make sure the depositions were proper.

Patent owner initiated a conference call where....

"During the March 15, 2016 call, Patent Owner requested that a decision be made that day regarding Patent Owner’s motions because Mr. Handal was conducting an in-progress deposition on behalf of Patent Owner."

All that because the PTAB did not rule early on....say in July 2015 with a denial of the motion as I previously suggested...where it could have been straightened out early on.

Everything came together at the last minute....and Mary is a last minute consideration to salvage the situation.
