Apple's DilemmaThe ball is in WiLAN's court now on whether to appeal the verdict.
Based on McKool-Smith's accusations of Apple making false claims and coerced 'expert' witness testimony that WiLAN would be compelled to file an appeal. IMO WiLAN is using the appeal as a bargaining chip to strike a licensing deal with Apple. That appears to be what WiLAN did with ALU et al when they lost the 3GPP trial and did not appeal - WHY? Because the parties struck a deal and ALU acquired a license a month later.
Apple's 'smoke & mirrors' defence tactic must have them in a bargaining mood in order to avoid risking an appeals court decision going against them. I believe WiLAN actually is in a better position than people think. I'm betting a deal with Apple is imminent.
