We are of the opinion that CopyTele (COPY) today -- as of this very second, offers investors an excellent entry point amidst a bit of confusion about one of its litigation most exciting proceedings.

News out today about a September 9th settlement conference with AU Optronics and E Ink Holdings , which we might fondly refer to as an all-points bulletin. So please pay attention.

Follow the bouncing ball:

Suit Filed:

FIRST...on January 28th of 2013, CopyTele filed suit against E Ink Holdings and AU Optronics (NYSE: AUO). The lawsuit, alleging breach of contract, fraud, conspiracy to monopolize, unfair business practices, antitrust, and other anti-competitive acts, seeks punitive and treble damages.

This type of lawsuit and its wide range of charges and potential benefits (treble damages) is unlike anything we've seen filed by any other patent monetization in our Watch List. If CopyTele succeeds in it's assertion efforts -- all hell could break loose, with regards to the share price.

The suit is against two multi-billion dollar foreign companies. And CopyTele doesn't simply claim they "inadvertently" infringed (as often is the case in technology patent disputes) CopyTele's technology, but rather claims that they "conspired to steal" the technology and intended to cause CopyTele "financial hardship," to the extent that they wouldn't even be able to defend themselves and fight back.

Yep, dem's fighting words!

AU Optronics is one of the world's largest manufacturers of flat panel displays for televisions, computers, and tablets, including Apple's iPad. E-Ink is the world's largest supplier of electrophoretic displays including displays for e-Reader products such as Amazon's Kindle, and Barnes and Noble's Nook. Nice targets.

Finally -- and this is where it gets good (or even better). CopyTele is represented in the lawsuits by San Francisco based Lieff Cabraser Heimann & Bernstein, who together with the U.S. Justice Department, recently lead antitrust and unfair competition actions against AU Optronics (what a coincidence), resulting in criminal fines of $500 million, civil settlements of $199.5 million, and Federal prison sentences for several top AUO officials.

$1/2 a billion in fines, prison sentences, the Kindle and the Nook -- this is bout as juicy as a story gets. We fully expect this proceeding to grab front line attention as it nears resolution And we also are of the opinion that it is bound to grab the attention of investors. For a company with a market capitalization less than $50 million -- this can be a very good thing.

Initial Suit filed:

finance.yahoo.com/news/copytele-files-la....html

Second, on June 4th, CopyTele announces that it was awarded an additional patent (its 13th) covering electrophoretic displays. The patent relates to improvements in the resolution and response time for particles used to generate images. Electrophoretic displays are commonly used in eReader devices such as the Kindle sold by Amazon, and the Nook sold by Barnes and Noble.

Third, and of extreme importance (to the impatient) --CopyTele agreed to arbitrate against AU Optronics. Arbitration will enable CopyTele to seek the same level of damages and other relief that they would be entitled to in Court, via a process that should be faster and more efficient than the overcrowded Federal Court system.

Fourth on July 9th, and this is where we believe confusion enters into the picture. E-Ink's litigation team Wolf Greenfield's announced it secured an order dismissing the patent infringement lawsuit brought by CopyTele, Inc. CopyTele traded as high as $0.30 the day before and two days later traded as low as $0.22 (it trades at $0.23 as we write).

In a emailed statement, Robert Berman CopyTele CEO wrote, "In the interest of judicial economy, the court is requiring E Ink to participate in the arbitration proceedings between CopyTele and AU Optronics and to first resolve the antitrust, fraud, conspiracy, and other allegations against them. Because issues in the arbitration must first be decided before the patent infringement case can proceed, it makes perfect sense for the court to dismiss the patent infringement case now without considering the merits of the case, and to allow CopyTele to refile the patent infringement case once the arbitration is over."

Fifth on July 10th, the Federal District Court for the Northern District of California ordered CopyTele, AU Optronics Corp. and E Ink Holdings to attend a settlement conference, before a Magistrate Judge, to be scheduled within the next ninety (90) days.

CopyTele issued a press release stating, "The District Court declined to grant E Ink Holding's request to be dismissed from the AUO/E Ink lawsuit, and ordered E Ink to participate in the arbitration proceeding agreed to by CopyTele and AUO, for purposes of discovery. CopyTele's lawsuit against E Ink will be conditionally stayed, provided that E Ink continues to comply with the arbitrator's discovery rulings. Because issues pending in the arbitration proceeding must first be adjudicated before CopyTele can proceed with its patent infringement lawsuit against E Ink, the District Court dismissed that lawsuit, without prejudice, meaning that CopyTele can re-file the lawsuit, if necessary, following the arbitration.

The press release also noted, "The Court's ruling provides that discovery developed from the arbitration proceeding may be used in later litigation by CopyTele against E Ink."

Nonetheless -- despite this clarifying press release, we believe confusion ruled over the share price and contributed to its weakness.

Sixth today, we get a date ! September 9th is the start date for a settlement conference. They had 90 days to schedule a the conference and only took 12 days to do so. Things look like they are being fast tracked.

Today's News:

MELVILLE, NY--(Marketwired - July 23, 2013) - CopyTele, Inc. ("CTI") (COPY), a company specializing in patent monetization and patent assertion, today announced that the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California has scheduled a Settlement Conference on September 9, 2013, in connection with CopyTele's ongoing lawsuit against AU Optronics Corp. and E Ink Holdings. The Settlement Conference, which must be attended by lead trial counsel, and representatives with unlimited settlement authority from CopyTele, AU Optronics, and E Ink, will be presided over by a United States Magistrate Judge.

The Settlement Conference is an informal process where the Magistrate Judge acts as a mediator in an attempt to compel the parties to resolve their differences. The Settlement Conference could be completed in as little as one day, or may take place over several days, depending on the Magistrate Judge and the parties.

Robert Berman, CTI's President and CEO stated, "Since taking over CTI as new management, this is our first opportunity to meet face to face with officials from AU Optronics and E Ink. Personal interaction plays an important part in resolving any dispute, and we are looking forward to starting the process."

3. When Does a Reverse Split Make Sense? (SeekingAlpha)

With all the negative perception of reverse splits, there are those rare situations where a company can affect one out of opportunity versus traditional desperation.

Case in point, on Friday afternoon Marathon Patent Group (MARAD.OB) announced a 1-13 reverse split of their common shares. No surprise as the company shareholders had approved it months earlier. The company's proxy filing clearly explains the company's intent.

4. Spherix (SPEX) to Partner With World Famous Rockstar Consortium.

TYSONS CORNER, VA--(Marketwired - July 17, 2013) - Spherix Incorporated (NASDAQ: SPEX) -- an intellectual property development company, today announced it has entered into a definitive agreement with Rockstar Consortium, the owner of the world famous Nortel Networks patent portfolio of over 4,000 patents, to acquire a suite of patents.

Through the Rockstar Consortium transaction, Spherix will substantially increase its intellectual property portfolio and be positioned to enhance its opportunities for revenue generation through the monetization of these assets.

"We are very excited to partner with Rockstar. Spherix's acquisition is even more significant because in addition to this suite of patents Rockstar has agreed to become a shareholder of Spherix." said Harvey Kesner, Spherix CEO. Mr. Kesner continued, "We expect to bring our first action against known infringers within 30-60 days." The terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

5. Spherix And Its Rockstar Announcement: A Big Deal For A Small Company (SeekingAlpha)

Although the SPEX press release does not disclose what Rockstar patents it is acquiring or the terms, it provides useful information regarding the quality of the assets in question (and about SPEX) in a number of ways. First, I know firsthand that Rockstar has high quality assets and a seasoned team of professionals. The core of Nortel's IP licensing group went to Rockstar with the deal, and is still there. Rockstar's combination of high quality assets and people gives me confidence that SPEX has likely obtained high quality patents.

Second, partnering with a public company in a combination of patent sales and equity ownership is a new and public endeavor for Rockstar. They would not showcase a questionable portfolio in such a public campaign.

Third, Rockstar and its portfolio are highly regarded in the patent monetization world. They can pick their partners, and do so conservatively - and they chose SPEX. This is a badge of honor and feather in the cap, especially for an IP company that is just getting started.

Fourth, SPEX now has its foot in the door of one of the world's most valuable patent portfolios. If they produce results for Rockstar on this deal, they will almost certainly get access to more Rockstar patents, and there is a lot of gold in that vault. Lastly, Rockstar becoming an SPEX shareholder means that they have a financial interest in SPEX's success. That bodes well for this and future Rockstar deals.

Based on these factors, I view today's press release, even though it has few details, as a significant positive development for SPEX.

Mr. Walker will serve as Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors of the combined company, while current Walker Digital Chief Executive Officer Jon Ellenthal will serve as the Company's Chief Executive Officer.

"Over the past 20 years, Walker Digital has focused on inventing solutions to large-scale problems for businesses and consumers and then successfully monetizing a number of our inventions and intellectual property through a multi-pronged strategy of commercialization, partnership and enforcement," said Mr. Walker. "This transaction will enhance our ability to continue to achieve returns on our current and future patent portfolio and to develop new commercial initiatives."
