It is a concidence.
Samsung will use every tactic possible, especially the proposed $17B plant in Texas, to overturn the PTAB final decision and any eventual Texas court decision. The Samsung CEO just met with failing President Biden at the plant being used as the model for the Texas facility. This is no coincidence.
litigation !!
Or should I say routine (for Samsung) piece of legislation?
I very much doubt any real consideration was given at Samsung whether to appeal or not, it will be the standard operating procedure irrespective of the merits, if the relatively junior executive dealing with this minor (for Samsung) piece of litigation had not lodged an appeal he would likely have faced difficult questions from his superiors.
So far as the trial is concerned, am I correct the jury decide on infringement, the judge then fixes the damages figure, or do the jury also set the damages figure? If so does the judge set the uplift?
No amount of guilt can change the past and no amount of worrying can change the future.
Every guilty person is his own hangman.
IMO - There's nothing to fear investing here - it's just things moving closer to the truth.
Hi. Long time lurker, first time poster. I am long a modest amount in NANO but tempted to extend that position. I am optimistic with regards to both the Samsung case and the more general commercial prospects of the company, either of which could justify a significant increase in value. Re Samsung my main reservation is around the jury trial. I note that it is limited to 5 days which I regard as a positive but remain skeptical around the presentation of potentially complicated arguments to a jury, and the fact that the trial is due to take place in Texas where I understand Samsung are building a new plant. I would welcome people's perspectives on this...??
Can't envisage Samsung gaining any extra stay on the trial date. The judge was none too impressed at delaying proceedings last time, with 47-0 verdict at the PTAB, there's little justification in delaying further regardless of any appeals.
The Thieves' Gambit...
As ‘expected’ as expected gets, and fair play to Samsung for at least not waiting until the very last day to appeal it and drag things out even more. Looking at it from their angle the show really is over if they don’t appeal, but 47-0 is a forlorn hope, I just can’t see them overturning much, if any.
Could this provide a little pull back? The price action from PTAB was so muted I really doubt it, but if it does I’ll be adding again.
I’m quite relaxed about it now the initial decision of the PTAB was in our favour. Mintz know the play book as they do the same. It’s like Chess, getting the pieces in the correct place. S failed on the 1st and 2nd move, hopefully the court case will be taken forward and they will fail on the 3rd move. A long way from checkmate, but happy to hold and add if the price is right!
This is a good resource to view other cases that are in appeal, decisions come as “ Affirmed”, “ Affirmed-in-Part” and the worrying one “Reversed”. If I get time today I’ll have a look at some S cases that they’ve already had an appeal decision.

Intrusivethought, thanks for that. I did find them late last night on the master database, they don’t show it true timeline so the appeals are not at the end. But really appreciated. Cheers
It's a bit better than that Hawi. S has to go into the trial in Oct/Nov without being able to question validity on the same invalidity grounds or anything it could have reasonably raised at PTAB and that doesn't alter by appealing the PTAB verdict. The submissions around Fintiv essentially cover this (it was agreed between S and N that this was the basis for a stay in the trial and I believe tbe point is backed up in judge-made law were it not for the unequivocal agreement between the parties as that issue is raised too). The way I would assess it now - but DYOR - is that S will desperately need to succeed in putting the trial date back - but that it will fail in that mission - and we will know this very soon. That will leave S weak at trial and so ultimately it will need to win a lot of ground on PTAB appeal just to stand any chance with an appeal against a trial result in N's favour. I'll be happier if we get a trial result rather than a settlement as N has nothing to fear and it will give visibility to N's losses, finally.
Good that the process is gathering momentum, let's get on with it! I wonder if Samsung could sneakily use the opportunity to introduce something they can use at the trial, i.e. some actual justification for thinking the patents were not valid, and not mentioning that to the owners, rather than the feeble BS they have come up with so far

Can you share the link for the notice please, can’t see anything on PTAB.
It might come as a shock to a few on the ADVFN board judging by some of their comments over past few weeks. It only made sense for S to appeal regardless of the merits and whether or not S intends to go into the trial
I suppose it was inevitable, not least because they will want the stay on the court case to be maintained and if they did not appeal what reason could they give.
I don't really understand how it's so easy to appeal the ptab process. Just say they did not consider it properly and that's it?
Samsung, the last person you want to find yourself talking to at a party.
Petitioner has issued notice of appeal.
