Meet the GreenShift Patent Lawyer Team

If you needed open heart surgery you would not want to depend on your family doctor, no matter how much you like him.  I imagine they could do the job, but you would hardly want them fumbling through  a "Heart Surgery for Dummies" handbook while they are sawing through the ol'chest cavity.  Likewise you really need a specialist for patent law. 

That is what GreenShift has in CANTOR COLBURN LLP - a specialist who is a leader in patent law.

A common signature we see on GS CleanTech Corporation filings is "Michael J. Rye".  Recent EXAMPLE HERE.  He is a partner and co-chair in the Litigation Practice Area.  He has been with Cantor Colburn since 1997 and a partner since 2002.  Take a look at some of the major cases he has been on and the results.  SEE HERE.  Of the eight featured cases none seem to have gone to the jury.  It seems that reaching a settlement after discovery is a likely outcome.  The SkunK thinks that is also the most likely outcome here.  After discovery,  cool experienced patent lawyers on both sides will know the likely results, and will steer their clients towards an equitable settlement based on the weight of the case.  If I am right, then with the pretrial discovery focused by the MDL to a single judge is a master stroke - and if we see a settlement - it will be after the bulk of discovery and before the cases are sent back to the original courts for trial.  We now have only a single court now to watch [Adkins being the (temporary) sole exception], and if I was forced to guess this thing should be settled in between three to six months.

When that happens the SkunK hopes for - and expects - a "Black Swan Event". 

1.The event is a surprise (to the market).

2.The event has a major impact. (on the pps)

3.After the fact, the event is rationalized by hindsight, as if it had been expected.  (pps swings even higher than expected)

******************************

There is however, what those who predict  human behaviour call the "human factor". (Think horses are hard - try betting on the NFL!)  Humans do not always act in their own rational self-interest or exercise rational behavior.  Yes, consciousness is an odd, funny thing.
