Weekly Roundup - Boxcar Super Bowl

Shareholder letter.

I expect a Shareholder letter shortly. Corn oil prices have skyrocketed. This should bode well for both GreenShift and their licensed customers. 

Court Filings

Slow week for court filings. I just checked and the last ones I could find I already posted here. (from January 11th).  We should see another big round on Monday since that is the deadline (January 24, 2011) for Defendants Preliminary Invalidity Contentions.  I will try to get posted asap - before the open on Tuesday.  It looks like it is put up time for accusations of prior art:

Each party opposing a claim of patent infringement shall serve on all parties its “Preliminary Invalidity Contentions,” which must contain the following information:

(a) The identity of each item of prior art that allegedly anticipates each asserted claim or renders it obvious.

(b) shall be identified by specifying the item offered for sale or publicly used or known, the date the offer or use took place or the information became known, and the identity of the person or entity which made the use or which made and received the offer, or the person or entity which made the information known or to whom it was made known.

Long Range Dates

Markman hearing will be held on April 25, 2011, at 9:00 a.m. in Room 361. A preliminary injunction hearing will be held on June 13, 2011, at 9:00 a.m. in Room 361.  If you missed it here is the big time outline for the court proceedings.  The actual court schedule is HERE.

OT - Boxcars

I got the Packers upset right last week - my apologies for the Ravens (third quarter), and the Sea Hawk receivers (dropped passes). The Patriots apparently finally played up to their potential - lol

Jets @ Pittsburgh

Pittsburgh offensive line is dismantled by Jets defense. Roethlisberger is good at breaking tackles for a reason - practice. Pittsburgh defense plays tough and keeps it real tight. Two very good teams. This could really go either way, but I will not stay on the fence. Close. Jets

Packers @ Bears

Less than 10mph winds in Soldier field means Packers win. Sure Chicago might have a better defense, but defenses do not play each other. The Packer offense is better than Chicago defense. Packer defense is much better than Chicago offense. That leaves advantage to Chicago only in special teams.  Not close this time. Packers

I am calling "boxcars" - a dice roll of 2 sixes - since this will be the first time both sixth seeds will meet in the Super Bowl.
