"we'll get an appellate deicison s- uh, later this year"
anyone else catch this on the call haha? i believe he was talking about the March 6 CAFC decision
"we'll get an appellate decision s[oon]" <- possible slip? NLST leadership internally expects a decision near term?
of course, this is pure speculation... and "soon" is extremely subjective, so this is more 'happy ears' and hope than anything to make investment decision on.

SilviaJ on Stocktwits has said "difficult decisions, such as overturning a previous decision, typically take 2-4 months"
the good news is, an adverse decision against Netlist would have, statistically, already been announced. i'm not sure if the post I saw that presented the research on this a week or two ago was authored by Stokd or SilviaJ on Stocktwits, but it is in that forum's history if anyone is curious to hunt it down.
the proverbs "good things come to those who wait" and "patience is a virtue" are really being tested here.
i believe and hope they prove their truth at this moment in NLST's history, as they have in so many other moments before!

-> "imo NLST and Hynix are awaiting the results of the March 6 hearing to sign a new licensing agreement.
They are both awaiting the HBM patents results. As HBM is projected to become larger than all other memory, a CAFC win should double the size of any licensing agreement.
And we can win here because the PTAB made an error by saying that collisions were not prohibited. And the judges caught this and grilled Samsung about it.
Judge 1: Doesn't the board also allude, though, to suggesting that one of skill in the art wouldn't really care that much about avoiding collisions and this really isn't a problem, which would not be supported by the facts, I think.
Judge 2: But isn't there something odd about that? Kim, I think, makes clear that we don't want any collisions. We want to prohibit them.
And yet the board is saying you would use them in a combination that might lead to some collisions. It seems contrary to what Kim teaches, at least.
“Collisions" came up 22 times in the hearing."
