To Michael Piturro: Beats even a world series story ! :-) Does anyone think the trial scheduled for Feb 1999 will actually take place? Would seem that Ericy stands to lose on the charge of deliberate attempts to damage the Q let alone the more narrow question of patents themselves. Not a rosy prospect for Ericy, no? And the threats re W CDMA seem a bit empty in view of this. But maybe the three patents that Ericy still claims re CDMA are "blocking" patents. Their "blocking" strength does seem a little weak though since none of the 51 companies who have licensed the Q's patents have felt it necessary to license Ericy's. Thanks for drawing this to the thread's attention Mike. Chaz PS And thanks to JGoren for the comments I have just read so edited this post. Agree Ericy is very vulnerable re trashing the Q. No judge is predictable, but not a good position for Ericy to be in inside a courtroom. Assume Ericy has some intelligent lawyers and that management is just stubborn not stupid, so settlement before trial leaps to the eye. But unfortunately, to date Ericy's track record for common sense is suspect to say the least.
