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. Thanks for the info. That makes me feel substantially safer about the possibility of getting some sort of surprise announcement out of the appeals process. One thing is for sure, there is definitely less on the legal plate in '08 than in '07. That is both good and bad as Q has obviously had a series of legal setbacks.....OTOH, as PJ stated, the Nokia negotiations might need some sort of external impetus to have any chance of getting settled. Broadcom might be a slightly different story. Now that we have the Santa Ana decision, perhaps some progress can get made between the two companies. Slacker

Well damn it Carranza pay more attention for pity sakes. I love your posts because they are largely well reasoned. Although you tend to put a little more concern into the legal ramifications than I. I understand that the court room setbacks have hurt the short term stock movement but that rubber band is stretching and stretching. Before long it is going to break and that is when we will make a lot of money. I played golf this morning and was really worried that we were going to take a big hit today. But, I was really pleased when I got home and saw we were only down less than a dollar. I was thinking maybe 4-5 dollars. Q has shown that they are still on top of their game and has yet to bring out their big guns. And, IMO they won't unless absolutely forced to. The NOK's and the Broadcom's at some point will understand that sometimes discretion is the better part of valor. Sorry for the vague info. I don't pay as close attention as I used to.
