Feb 4th how I see it playing out . . . .
I see a same day reversal decision, I would be shocked if it isn't at the very least a few days IMO the evidence is just too overwhelmingly one-sided. Impossible you say, well Appeal judges have made decision on just the written briefs, if the evidence is so one sided.
The judges before the court date, would have already read and fully absorbed the briefs and then during the day in court the judges would have just listened to the few clarification points , if any, that they had requested clarification on via oral arguments by opposing counsels. With that fresh in their minds the deliberate.
According to R&G this case is already decided by the Ancora Precedent. Hard to discount this latest development. R&G doesn't win by smoke and mirrors but by working harder , having greater resources and more skilled lawyers and researchers and simply put, by being the best. Those are my reason for the quick reversal. We will see. No pump here just based on the facts as I see them in accord with my research and R&Gs record.
Reversal means the patent is immediately valid.
Then (all talk no proof) Knobbe Martin & Sec Auth/Core Security has to make a decision, do they want to pay millions to get LMMH'd Legally Mauled , Mutilated & Humiliated in a trial, armed with pouty feel sorry for me faces, no evidence and zero chance to win. My opinion? they will quickly settle.
MSFT was always going to settle on the strength of SFORs patent. But now we are virtually in a legal sense omnipotent as our patent has unlimited power or authority . lol SFOR must assimilate all infringing companies as channel partners like the Borg lol
What Sec Auth does or doesn't do has no impact on all the other cases that were in the negotiating settlement phase . The other cases do not have to wait to see what Sec Auth does, How that case ends has no bearing on the other cases.
Feb 4th decision makes our Patent invincible. Period.
We are now omnipotent legally speaking with a Precedent, SCOTUS and PTAB the trident of infringer death. Our legal team resume these other settlements and swiftly picks up right where they left off.
So on the Feb 4th when R&G gets the reversal IMO, the next day I could see Blank Rome resuming settlement negotiations with Duo /Cisco , Centrify and Trustwave.
Ropes and Gray will be knocking on some doors, resuming settlement negotiations with Gemalto and Vasco. Expectation? a speedy settlement. The formula for damages and recurring revenues and value of SFORs patent was set by the Duo's purchase terms by Cisco.
My friends, let the cha-chings begin!!!
Ropes & Gray vs Gemalto $$$$$
Ropes & Gray vs Vasco $$$$
Blank Rome vs Duo/Cisco $$$$$
Blank Rome vs Centrify $$$$$
Blank Rome vs Trustwave/Singtel $$$$$
The question we can ponder is this: when will the next round of legal "settle or go to trial letters" go out? Is it during these settlement slam dunk negotiation visits or immediately after settlement payments?
