If I may also chime in to the oral argument decission... here is what I was able to find.
B. CASECONFERENCES
In this Circuit, cases decided on the merits are generally discussed at a case conference. If the case was argued, the conference generally takes place later the same day; if the case was submitted without argument, it is usually discussed at the same conference as the cases with which it was originally scheduled. This Court does not ordinarily decide argued cases from the bench.
At the conference, the members of the panel reach agreement on the form as well as the substance of the decision. If the panel decides to issue an opinion or memorandum, the presiding judge assigns the responsibility for writing it, unless he or she is in the minority, in which event the senior member of the panel in the majority designates the author. When a case has been submitted without oral argument, the screening judge usually prepares the opinion or memorandum.
C. PREPARATIONOFOPINIONS
If the case is to be decided with an opinion or memorandum, the author circulates a draft to the other members of the panel. The other judges are free to suggest changes in the proposed text, or they may draft and circulate concurring or dissenting opinions. These may lead to further changes in the majority opinion.
Final drafts of all opinions to be published also are circulated to all judges on the Court. Following circulation of the drafts to the panel and the Court, the opinion is printed in house.

Then I clicked on "Handbook of practice and internal proceedures" to get the following pages:
https://www.cadc.uscourts.gov/internet/home.n...pdf#page63
And this led me to the above paragraphs found on page 54.
My opinion would be that the court process sucks (generally speaking) but my opinion from what I've read is that the justices go over the oral arguments that day and/or later that week. But there is no specific deadline for final decission. But there appears to be a system to keep things moving.
My opinion on why there is no timeline (as I understand it) is because there are no two cases, no two justices, no two arguements... that are the same. So simpler cases with efficient justices can be the quickest resolved and other cases may be complex and even be waiting for a decission on another case (which could take much longer to decide).
But if anyone can find an oral hearing decission deadline, please share.
I hope and truly believe it will not take two months to get a decission on the oral arguements due to the litigation history of this matter... MSFT, PHONEFACTOR Settlement, PTAB decission and other district courts that were moving forward. California courts did nothing to show/prove why SFOR's patents were not valid, they merely gave an opinion without any facts.
