2.5 hours until the start of festivities. Pharma

2.5 hours until the start of festivities. Pharma Tech is #3 of the 4 cases to be heard. No word yet on the panel judges. Judge Dyk lead a panel yesterday and usually takes all diabetic test strip cases. I look for him to lead the panel today. The first two cases are USPTO appeals. That's why I think Judge Dyk will lead the panel today. USPTO apeals are almost always very nuanced. Dyk is in his mid-80s who was once the lead judge in the NY Supreme Court. He is a recognized expert in the nuances of test strip technology. If Dyk is the man this is very, very good. Panel judges will be posted at 8.30 am.
