RE: RE: WI-LAN Inc. v. Alcatel-Lucent USA Inc. et Nice to see documents where the court is providing the filing rather than the defendents and Wi-Lan. I found it pretty interesting and I take away two things from this:
1.) We're just talking about some Wi-Lan emails and not earth-shattering documents of patent validity and enforceability...so no big deal
2.) It appears the term 'privileged information' is hard to define so Wi-Lan was just trying to push the meaning to better suit themselves
3.) The emails appear to involve negotiations with other firms and perhaps contain some sensitive info on what the terms of other negotiations and perhaps settlement amounts...seems to me HTC is now just concerned on how much they will pay Wi-Lan and are looking for any info that will give them a benchmark. Once they have all the info (pre-trial) they will settle with Wi-Lan and avoid court.
These points are not obvious from this filing but they seem reasonable interpretations. Anyone have further thoughts?
