That's a fair summary Barbon, except that BT has indicated the main trial hearing would most likely not be delayed beyond October. That's the approach typically taken by the Texas court which is otherwise ready for trial. But we must all live with the estimate of the overall litigation timetable given by Nanoco that any appeal process could extend for 2+ years. Not everyone will like to hear that, but with the sort of sums at stake and technical complexity of the case It is fairly unimaginable to me that Samsumg will not wish to appeal the PTAB verdict due in May. The main trial itself which is due in October should not be delayed because of all this but everything does ultimately hang on the PTAB appeal ruling, and any appeals related to the October trial result (my note indicates that the judge's final trial ruling is expected in late 2023), and so none of this will be decidely quickly.
As someone has suggested below this may make new licensing contracts for display somewhat difficult to tie up for the time being.
As for injunctions, which some posters have commented on below, we are told this is not possible in the US. It might be possible in some EU jurisdictions though, as BT has stated. EU wide sales are roughly equivalent in scale to those in the US so it seems this isnsomething Nanoco would wish to pursue.
