While we prefer to resolve issues outside of the courtroom, we believe we have a strong patent position, including patents that issued in the past four years that must be defended appropriately.

We are pleased with this ruling and look forward to proceeding to the patent phase of our case. We have great confidence in our intellectual property position and are pleased with the opportunity to present our position to a jury.

There are very important policy issues and very complicated issues, and some basic factual issues that we think are going to be clarified by the Federal Circuit in about three weeks.

By expanding our patent portfolio, we believe we can further strengthen our proprietary position in the green industry.

still lots of opportunities to resolve the issues.

The property issues are very complicated and have been going on for 4½ years, but we have to resolve this. I've been working on it myself and want to see this settled.
