Excellent stuff SON. will have a browse through later in detail

.I cant read the update on the monitor properly but what i can discern is that there is still a dispute ongoing and the next Scheduled hearing proposed in draft is APRIL 2019......SILENCE FROM THE RAMPERS ..........as you point out they havent a clue.
What I did spot was what looked like a statutory timetable of 18 months on slide 37 ?do you agree?at least that would give us a definitive timeline.

more worrying -on slide 59
"According to the 2017 AIPLA Report of the Economic Survey,
the median litigation cost for litigating a patent infringement
suit to verdict (with more than $25M at risk) is $3 million." At least we have two for the price of one! And I doubt the claims are that high- but even so it is going to be a costly business I hope we do settle

I will now wait for the troll attacks!notwithstanding I have been positive on the company since day 1 . But I hate the ramping b s on here from the idiots who cannot bear anyone who doesnt follow their party line .

and are they selling any ??fed up with all this ramping - we have the sweets on display in the shop window but nobody seems to want to buy them- lets get real and wait for news that somebody does-and stop all this incessant moaning about manipulation blah de blah - you couldnt make it up-they are having a larf- jees- so boring are you all for real .?just man up girlies..........................

why do you all expect a verdict?thats not likely .......................

A Markman hearing is a pretrial hearing in a U.S. District Court during which a judge examines evidence from all parties on the appropriate meanings of relevant key words used in a patent claim, when patent infringement is alleged by a plaintiff. It is also known as a "Claim Construction Hearing".[1]

Holding a Markman hearing in patent infringement cases has been common practice since the U.S. Supreme Court, in the 1996 case of Markman v. Westview Instruments, Inc., found that the language of a patent is a matter of law for a judge to decide, not a matter of fact for a jury to decide. In the United States, juries determine facts in many situations,[2] but judges determine matters of law.[3][4]

Markman hearings are important, because the court determines patent infringement cases by the interpretation of claims. A Markman hearing may encourage settlement, because the judge's claim construction finding can indicate a likely outcome for the patent infringement case as a whole. Markman hearings are before a judge, and generally take place before trial. A Markman hearing may occur before the close of discovery, along with a motion for preliminary injunction, or at the end of discovery, in relation to a motion for summary judgment. A Markman hearing may also be held after the trial begins, but before jury selection.[5]

The evidence considered in a Markman hearing falls into two categories: intrinsic and extrinsic. Intrinsic evidence consists of the patent documentation and any prosecution history of the patent. Extrinsic evidence is testimony, expert opinion, or other unwritten sources; extrinsic evidence may not contradict intrinsic evidence.[6]

so we cannot conclude or assume any definitive outcome from the forthcoming hearing..... the case could take months or longer.......lets be balanced eh?

and....................................whats your point?

have you taken into account tax charge and overhead costs please?

Whatever happened to the stiff upper lip chaps ! It’s only money. Keep your head whilst others around you are losing theirs . Accept your fate with dignity and stop whingeing. I still believe......

Ive got it p s Go into sales. You need to be thick skinned!

Maybe when the facts change we should temper our expectations. Something is not going to plan. I hope it’s only timing ......

When that was announced there was no early hearing in prospect. I am still not convinced that we will get a definite result soon anyway.there is an appeal process My read remains that the shortly refers to new deals Fingers crossed.

Agreed. But the legal process is normally a drawn out one. Hence my belief that the announcement would be about commercial progress rather than legal. Either way shortly is embarrassing for AK in my view. He should have learnt from past errors. But I remain patient and fully invested I hope I am right. O S we must agree to disagree. I want the ceo to focus on getting runs on the board not dealing with nervous investors

His job is to run the conmpany not deal with every Tom dick and Harry email asking “are we there yet?’ You all have delusions of grandeur. We are trivial in the ownership scheme of things. Let him do his job. I am optimistic still but he shouldn’t have used the word shortly.

Twice bitten twice shy? He is a smart guy The recent shortly in my view is likely to be more imminent... I don’t agree re the court cases either. These are never quick

Flogging a dead horse. You don’t understand the legal process I have been through it .... nothing will happen tomorrow...

extract from 2018 accounts

Our operating segments are based on the types of products from which we generate revenues. We are organized by product lines with five main product groups and
three reportable segments: Electronic Components, Interconnect, Sensing and Control Devices, and KED Resale. The product groups of Ceramic, Advanced, and Tantalum
have been aggregated into the Electronic Components reportable segment in accordance with the aggregation criteria and quantitative thresholds. The aggregation criteria
consist of similar economic characteristics, products and services, production processes, customer classes, and distribution channels. The Electronic Components segment
consists primarily of surface mount and leaded ceramic capacitors, RF thick and thin film components, surface mount and leaded tantalum capacitors, surface mount and
leaded film capacitors, ceramic and film power capacitors, super capacitors, EMI filters (bolt in and surface mount), thick and thin film packages of multiple electronic
integrated components, varistors, thermistors, inductors, and resistive products manufactured by us or purchased from other manufacturers for resale. The Interconnect,
Sensing and Control Devices segment consists primarily of automotive sensing and control devices and automotive, telecom, and memory connectors manufactured by or
for AVX. The KED Resale segment consists primarily of ceramic capacitors, frequency control devices, SAW devices, sensor products, RF modules, actuators, acoustic
devices, and connectors produced by Kyocera and resold by AVX. Sales and operating results from these reportable segments are shown in the tables below. In addition,
we have a corporate administration group consisting of finance, legal, environmental, health & safety (“EH&S”), and administrative activities.

supercaps are only one of many in the total so hard to tell what is going on but it seems they are not in the automotive section as if you look at the avx guide there are no products containing supercaps in the breakdowns .
those percentages are not increases just to be clear -they are proportions of total sales.
There will be no announcement re the IP - lots have happened on these cases so far and none has merited an announcement so far -it is just a stage in the legal process and will not be made public .....the cases wont be heard till next year I would guess.

So we really need something to get our teeth into soon as the share price ebbs ...."..shortly"...... I cant think Kongats would have made the same mistake as he did last year re over estimating how quickly they would announce a deal .If he has that does not bode well....Fingers crossed its a biggie

This is just a response of legal argument. We won’t see that The case is months off being heard. Don’t hold your breath. I was the one who found that site and said it was not goona move quickly as a case. Have you forgotten that ? I was hoping that meant other info was going to be published re deals........ shortly....!!!!

According to you people can post what they like no matter how inane What a cheek given the moronic rubbish you constantly post Get a life

So when they say in the rns they expect to update “ shortly” I doubt they had the cases in mind ! I continue to be optimistic ... hope I am right though
