OTOH, I am sure that Broadcom is appealing the stay of the ITC injunction

Since one three-judge appellate panel normally cannot reverse another, a reversal of the stay would require en banc [full court] consideration to get the point to even be considered; such consideration is exceedingly difficult to obtain. I've never been able to get it despite having asked for it dozens of times.

Bottom line, I think the stay of the ITC injunction is very safe. The injunction will live and die with the appeal on the merits; it will not be enforced until such time as BRCM wins of the merits of the appeal. It might even be in place while Q seeks Supreme Court review should Q lose.

I have no idea what the status of Q's appeal might be. I am relatively sure the record has been compiled by now and a briefing schedule probably issued. Look for that case to be argued pehaps in the Fall and a decision around this time next year.

Don't know about the suit in Delaware but something tells me it was stayed pending arbitration.

Sorry for the vague info. I don't pay as close attention as I used to.

"We also have the possible ruling in the Nokia arbitration though I think that could stretch into '09."

I respectfully disagree. Arbitration is not like a court action. It is not inefficient like a court action. There will be a decision by the arbitrators in 08
