"During the mediation TPL did not reach an agreement with any of the three sets of defendants with respect to the issues of the lawsuit, or with respect to potential licensing agreements broader in scope than the claims of the litigation. "
If TPL mingled their non-MMP patents with the J3 suit at the expense of PTSC shareholdes, and PTSC agreed (remember we are one of the parties), guilty of gross negligence could be asserted at TPL/PTSC management by PTSC shareholdes. The probability of this to happen is very small. I don't think lawyers on our side were that stupid. The bold faced part is more likely to refer to other patents of MMP portfolio - the non-366/148/584 patents.
Thank you for taking us back to that period before the 12/18 setttlement. This statement enforce the view that TPL/TPSC did not for some reason the give in, or like some people speculated that it was us (TPL/PTSC) wanted to settle first to let the PTO re-exams to determine the fate of MMP, not a jury trail.
Was there anything happened between 10/10/07 and 12/18/07 that greatly weakened our hands? Anything so significant to force us to change the stretagy in a grant scale? I posted a message in this regard a few days ago and did not get any response from posters who speculated the change of TPL/PTSC stretagy in a grant scale. Is it because there was grammer error in the title? (correction of the title- Anyone saw a momentum shifting before 12/18 settlements?)
