I re-read the press release and see what you mean, jpbrody. "Ericsson dropped the three patents from the lawsuit shortly before Ericsson was due to disclose in court proceedings its interpretation of the meaning and scope of the allegedly infringed claims and several months before the scheduled trial date in February 1999." My interpretation of what the foregoing means is that the judge had asked for submissions from the parties for entry by the judge of a pretrial order. The parties set forth in some detail what their allegations are, what facts the parties agree upon, and what is in dispute. Even if a litigant has pleaded something, if it is not put in the pretrial order as in dispute, it isn't in controversy and cannot be "tried." Therefore, the submission works like an amendment to the pleadings, so that the judge can focus on what is really left to be decided. Based on the submissions from the parties, the judge prepares and signs a pretrial order that sets forth the issues in controversy and to be tried.
