Litigation Time Frame

It is very hard to talk about the patent litigation time frame, since there are three different ongoing cases available on Pacer that you can follow related to the Greenshift patents. I am not about to give you a play by play since I am not a patent lawyer and am certainly not qualified. Even if I was, these things can get settled at any time out of court, making any scheduled dates moot. (a four letter lawyer word I picked up on tv) You're encouraged to get an account and look at the filings whenever you want and let me know what you think. They say it costs eight cents a page, but the bill does not come till you get to $10. Not even close yet.

Just go to the link below and get an account, select "civil" and use "greenshift" to search. Five cases come up, two are old and closed and you are left with the three current patent litigation's.

Just to give you some excerpts concerning timing for one of the three cases:
1. ". . . discovery to be completed by February 10, 2010."
2. "(A) briefs in opposition to the respective parties’ initial memorandum of law are to be filed and served by February 26, 2010; and"
3. "(B) reply briefs are to be filed and served by March 12, 2009 with a consolidated hearing on the pending motions thereafter to be scheduled."

The filing where these three quotes come from is available here:

Like ALL the filings I encourage you to read it all. Just to say it out loud again, quoting excepts is not an attempt to deny you information, but to give you, a part of the whole I think you might find interesting.

Good Luck,
