Has anyone checked how many days are blocked out for the Broadcomm enforcement motion trial? edisweb.usitc.gov 543/Enforcement/297488/358535/f71/971f51.pdf Based on a review of the parties pre-trial briefs and statement, the undersigned would like to clarif the following issues. First, the hearing will take place from April 22-24,2008. Because there is another hearing scheduled to take place on April 28, 2008, the courtroom will not be available on April 25,2008, as that day is required for clean up of this investigation, as well as set up for the next hearing, so there will be no possibility of the hearing extending to April 25,2008. Courtroom hours will be from 9:OO a.m. to 4:30 p.m., with a one-hour recess for lunch at 12:30 p.m., along with two fifteen minutes breaks, at approximately 10:45 a.m. and 3:OO p.m. Therefore, there are approximately 6 hours of trial time available each day. The ALJ stated: "neither the patent or prosecution history limits the claim to scanning for access points when attempting to open a communication" Form the above ALJ quote, I believe Qcom has an uphill climb of Mount Everest proportions to pull a win out of its hat. I also sincerely believe the Street wrongly and fully expects Qcom to win this enforcement proceeding and a win is priced in already. If the trial ends on the 24th as stated, when can we reasonably expect a decision by ? Knowing if BRCM was limited to arguing the "out of service" defense only, would be great to know in advance of the decision. Unfortunately, I don't expect QCOM to be able to comment much on this proceeding - since the trial will not end until a day after the CC. Qgent
