Trial court verdict tossed by judge- PRKR screwed
37
The Judge in PRKR's case granted Qualcomm's JMOL on non-infringement. PRKR will appeal at the much less plaintiff-friendly CAFC, good luck with that. The other district court case will take a while and QCOM can... login to read the rest
Other tidbits from the trial:
PRKR admitted over 100 companies had looked at its technology and passed
The Via telecom deal it had been touting has not produced working products and is not expected to generate meaningful... login to read the rest
Kudos to nha and katana for an amazing trade, could be one of the best shorts in VIC history on an IRR! I put it on my list of shorts to look into but unfortunatly
Since there will be no trebling, this award (assuming 25% contingency fees) is only worth $1.30 per share assuming 99M F/D shares outstanding.
Of course, that overstates the value because (1) collecting that or any amount... login to read the rest

Thanks! This line was pretty funny:
"He also began spending time on geeky finance websites like Value Investors Club, SumZero, and Seeking Alpha, where investors gather to exchange stock ideas and call each other idiots in the comments section."
Congrats to matt366. I'm not sure who went long this based on the post, but I imagine there were plenty of shorts who covered and moved to the sidelines (like us) subsequent to his post.
It stikes me that it may be a good time to short PRKR here near $7. There are about 100mm diluted shares outstanding so the market cap is ~$700mm. I think that see real downside... login to read the rest
Farmwald is probably not having his best day today.
I am much more concerned about potential damages than I was in my prior posts. The Daubert ruling by the judge on 1999 evidence was damaging. Assuming... login to read the rest
A quick response to the recent post by Matt366 by Mike Farmwald.

Matt- Management has stated many times in its presentations that the D2D patents involved in this lawsuit are very strong because up until 2005-2006- the literature/prior art teaches away from energy sampling. Teaching away is... login to read the rest
Repetek: I think you and i disagree about the defenses. I dont think PRKR is a troll, because i dont know what that means. PRKR is a non practicing entity, which is an issue, but... login to read the rest
You state that a defense upon appeal would consist of the following arguments
1. Did not invent anything real/deceived the patent office
2. Acted as a troll initially- and laid in wait pretending to be unaware that... login to read the rest

We basically have the same thesis as matt366 that the recent developments in the legal case over the last six months have been overlooked and dramatically increase the odds that Parkervision with ultimately prevail. Here... login to read the rest
matt, I will give you credit for being upfront about PRKR's history. And as I stated before, I wouldn't be shocked if they managed to get a favorable verdict in this current trial based on... login to read the rest

If PRKR did indeed win (which is questionable) and it was upheld on appeal (which appears doubtful), what are the odds that shareholders will see one dime of that money? This company has been one... login to read the rest

As the aforementioned Kerrisdale, it appears that we should partake in this conversation.

Sorry, i left out a response to the PTO point. PTO re-examinations can occur concurrently with trials, and the PTO can withdraw patents on a re-exam. However, the risk to the claims from this process... login to read the rest
