No Cocoman, I'm not saying that at all.

I merely identified that NEA was very likely to challenge SF if they suspected for one moment that SP's technology could transgress NEAs IP. Given NEAs IP assertion background and SC's personality, this action was actually pretty easy to predict.

The only thing with "no chance" at the moment is my (or anyone's) ability to predict the outcome of the hearing. That's why its called "discovery".

But I'll 'guess' that:

1) NEA know what they are doing in the courtroom, and SF is a first timer.
2) NEA will be able or will try to find or extrapolate some points of actual/material contention.
3) This is a grudge match and NEA will go the extra yards to put any foot it can on SF's IP or ex employees that threaten in any way NEA's IP and market.
4) NEA has the resources for a long fight; SF doesn't. Both Coys know this.
5) This wont cost NEA anywhere near as much as SF. NEA has already been awarded motion costs.

But really, no one knows.

Cheers,
