Re: Markman Ruling is Out. What!/ HATARI

in response to HATARI's message

There's no way this is a good thing for us. My guess is the Defendants will file a motion for dismissal on all counts of patent infringment since all of their products likely contain RAM. The only thing going for us that I see is this language by the court,

"Although the Court’s construction is not precisely aligned with that urged by the Defendants, the Court recognizes that it is nevertheless likely to have that effect."

There may be small settlements offered by the Defendants if EDIG agrees to withdraw their complaints and bow out of the case, but I ain't counting on it. It's also possible that when this case is finally closed, EDIG may appeal the court's ruling as in the Phillips case, but I ain't counting on that either since DM is paid on a contingency basis.
