Interesting TimesJudge Ward in Eastern District of Tyler Texas has already included the Wi-MAx patent in the Texas case. I don't think the California Judge Ware will oppose that. I think the case will stand alone in Texas and all the DJ's will be stayed pending the outcome. When would be the best chance for a deal to be made. From a position of uncertatinty as to whether this will happen of after it happens. If the Gang waits till after Judge Wares decision to Dismiss and transfer they will have no bargaining power. Wait and see .... I guess.
Intel v. Wi-LAN
At the Case Management Conference held on March 16, 2009, U.S. District Judge Ware set a date of April 24, 2009 for the hearing of Wi-LAN’s Motion to Dismiss or Transfer the declaratory judgment action of Intel Corporation. All other related declaratory judgment proceedings remain stayed pending the outcome of this hearing, pursuant to the Order of Judge Ware made on February 20, 2009.
In the meantime cash flow positive still remains 100+ mil in the bank , They took out the short term investments and are sitting with 100mil all cash. Looks to me like they are prepared to buy out another company. Why else would they go to cash.
