I am actually getting exited about what is happening...
FIRST:
It is clear that defendants came to this law suit thinking it would cost them no more than previos round settlements of a million or two. It is clear from the squacking of defense counsel that DM HAS RAISED THE BAR, ottherwise they would be out of here.
SECOND:
As you may recall defense was trying to have a Mini-Markman Hearing before any Discovery, using the same lame excuse that discovery would cost too much. Judge Kreiger stepped in and told the parties to go work it out and come back on 7/30 when she ruled that there shall been full discovery, and set the date for a Markman Hearing. She also lifted a STAY ORDER on full discovery as of last Friday.
Judges do not like to have attorneys through the same issues they have ruled on right back at them in different form. And if defense has nothing else besides "it is going to cost us too much", then we better get ready for a big WIN when Judge Kreiger issues her Markman Rling in February 2011.
LASTLY:
Irrepective of what some may think, this s not about how much spaggetti, mud, or crap defense attorneys can throw at EDIG and DM. At some point they have to come up with answers to what DM wants or face Sanctions or veen more drastic measures taken by the Court...
It is time to buid another SHED!?...Lol...Lol...
