RE: Wilan Market TodayThe discovery phase is the first phase of litigation. The parties put forward their preliminary case, their sources of evidence, the witnesses they intend to call etc. It is not a trial but an opportunity for each party to disclose to the other how they intend to prosecute and defend themselves in the matter before the courts.
Typically, the two parties use the time between the discovery phase and the actual trial date to examine the apparent strength of evidence, legal precedents, and their own defence. The trial date may be two years or more away and they will take all the time they need to determine whether they have a good prospect of winning in court and whether they will proceed to trial.
It is premature to speculate on any resolution in the near term. WILAN investors should be prepared mentally for several months to several years of delay until the matter is resolved. The biggest players, and Cisco is considered one of the biggest, will not miss a beat and rush to conclude this matter. They are not at intimidated by an upstart like WILAN initiating a legal action.
