Google Request To Postpone Vringo Ongoing Royalty Motion Ignored [View article]
It just doesn't make any sense to me. By now, he has to know that Google has written its opposition brief on the issue. At least he could let them go ahead and submit the brief Friday and if he wanted to stay the motion then and perhaps order supplemental briefing later, he could. I know I look like an idiot on this, which is totally fair, but I just don't see any sense in granting the postponement two days before the brief is due when obviously most of the work to write the brief must be done.

My article is completely accurate as to my opinion. As to facts that are going to occur in the future, no, I'm not a time traveler. And, yes, I was very neutral throughout my analysis of this case, as eventually the truth will come out. I didn't take a position until the trial was virtually over and then I did so based on my opinion of what the outcome would be. I haven't been emotionally invested in this case at all, and am still not. It's a very small position.

I was extremely constructive throughout my coverage of this case and that lead people to make personal attacks on me, and my religion. There were even death threats on Yahoo MB and a picture of my apartment. Don't blame me for the way I've been treated by VRNG longs. I have not personally attacked anyone, not will I. This article doesn't cite any legal authority or analysis to rebuke. It's merely a parroting of the arguments in Vringo's brief responding to Google's position on the damages and royalty award, which I address in my prior article.
As to your questions, the deadline to file motions via ECF is generally 11:59pm on the day they are due. If any motion needs to be filed in paper, it is usually due COB for the court. These are the rules generally unless the Judge's individual practices or some order in the case states otherwise.
As for appeal, either side has 30 days to file Notice of Appeal once the District Court enters final judgment. FRAP 4(a). As I've said before, I expect Vringo to appeal the laches decision and Google to appeal the validity and infringement issues, at minimum.

I haven't attacked the author at all. The title of this article alone "Judge SHOULD Rule" is hope and hype, and the copy and pasting of Vringo's reply brief doesn't add anything substantive. This is opinion that Vringo is right, just like all those who were so confident the jury would award them hundreds of millions, if not billions, of dollars in damages, when they ended up only awarding a measly $31M (not even the $32 the author here says). But, it's a free country, so keep hoping ... as the stock has dropped 20% since verdict.

You are100% lying. I was not provided any compensation for my public speeches at Google. They didn't even pay my travel expenses.
Regardless, how about you try pointing out some fact or statement of law I've made about Vringo that's wrong rather than trying to make this about me. It's about Vringo and how much their future royalties are at risk. Dispute the facts if you can. Attacking the messenger proves your position is weak.

That's 100% completely untrue. I have one case before the Supreme Court right now (AMP v Myriad), two cases before the Court of Appeals (OSGATA v Monsanto and Public Patent v McNeil) and recently litigated in several other patent and copyright cases. Don't misrepresent my experience when it's easily verified through court record searches. To do so is borderline libelous.

You're absolutely right, I didn't see the witnesses testify in person, but this is, in my opinion, not necessary. I care more about the story being told, rather than how dramatic or emotional it's being told. Jurors tend to care about the facts than anyone crying or screaming on the stand, which doesn't happen in patent cases anyways. This isn't Perry Mason. But, again, different people have different opinions. I've put my name with my opinion and welcome others to do the same.

I've put my name and reputation with a prediction and gladly invite you and others to do the same. I welcome a marketplace full of ideas and arguments. Saying "your opinion is stupid" is neither an idea nor an argument. Please, point out where I'm flawed. I encourage my students to do this all the time and am happy to learn from being shown where I'm wrong.
Ackman V. Icahn - Don't Forget Whitman [View article]
In the MBIA short, Ackman not only overcame long investors, he also fought through investigations of him by Spitzer and the SEC. People who think Ackman makes unjustified calls haven't done their homework. It is interesting to see the timing of Ichan's trades. It's pretty clear he hadn't been considering HLF until Ackman's December 20 presentation, so Ichan obviously didn't spend nearly as much time researching their business as Ackman has.

I can't wait for the SEC to look into Vringo and all the evidence of false pumping I have, including the statements like "jury awarded hundreds of millions of dollars in future royalties" I link to from here http://seekingalpha.co.... The sooner the SEC begins to look into Vringo the sooner the stock price will reflect reality and not the hope and hype spread by longs who have no response to me other than to make personal attacks.

Steve, "jury found that Vringo is entitled to a running royalty" is 100% wrong as a matter of law. Please stop saying demonstrably incorrect things. The jury awarded a "reasonable royalty" for _past_ damages as that's what it's required to do under 35 USC 284, which says "Upon finding for the claimant the court shall award the claimant damages adequate to compensate for the infringement, but in no event less than a reasonable royalty for the use made of the invention by the infringer." Future relief is exclusively for the court to decide, not the jury.
