RE:RE:Wilan - Apple Joint Motion of Stay cabbie- At CAFC oral hearing one judge in particular expressed the view that court would prefer both parties to try to reach a negotiated settlement rather than court. In addition, the court asked Mr lampken the amount of the Intel chips and Lamken replied in tens of millions. IMO,why would court ask if not to determine damages if no settlement by parties..
IMO if the court was entertaining claim construction by Apple ,why would the court recommend the parties try to work out settlement and ask about Intel chips IMO..
I am of opinion that decision of CAFC will not be given until mid January, just in case a negotiated settlement is being worked on.
I agree with you ,that very unlikely case to be sent back for retrial.
