Since one three-judge appellate panel normally cannot reverse another, a reversal of the stay would require en banc [full court] consideration to get the point to even be considered; such consideration is exceedingly difficult to obtain. I've never been able to get it despite having asked for it dozens of times. Thanks for the info. That makes me feel substantially safer about the possibility of getting some sort of surprise announcement out of the appeals process. One thing is for sure, there is definitely less on the legal plate in '08 than in '07. That is both good and bad as Q has obviously had a series of legal setbacks.....OTOH, as PJ stated, the Nokia negotiations might need some sort of external impetus to have any chance of getting settled. Broadcom might be a slightly different story. Now that we have the Santa Ana decision, perhaps some progress can get made between the two companies. Slacker
