Memjet vs. HP vs. Memjet - Brief update on court case

Just a very brief (and rather uninformative) update on the matter of Memjet vs. HP vs. Memjet re wide-format page-wide printing technology and patents thereon.

Per filings reported in the Pacer.gov system, this case is alive and well and moving forward. But, where it will end up, well, I’m not sure that, at this point in time, anyone could reasonably predict what the outcome of this case will be.

During April and May 2015, over 3,500 pages of briefs and exhibits were filed with the court re this case:

Filed April 20, 2016 - AMENDED JOINT CLAIM CONSTRUCTION HEARING STATEMENT, CHART, AND WORKSHEET PURSUANT TO PATENT L.R. 4.2, main document and exhibits = 316 pages

Filed May 12, 2016 - MEMJET’S OPENING CLAIM CONSTRUCTION BRIEF, main document and exhibits = 312 pages

Filed May 12, 2016 - HP INC.’S OPENING CLAIM CONSTRUCTION BRIEF, main document and exhibits = 98 pages

Filed May 20, 2016 - MEMJET’S OPENING CLAIM CONSTRUCTION BRIEF, main document and exhibits = 324 pages

Filed May 20, 2016 - HP INC.’S OPENING CLAIM CONSTRUCTION BRIEF, main document and exhibits = 62 pages

Filed May 20, 2016 - DECLARATION OF ANDREW V. DEVKAR IN SUPPORT OF HP INC.’S OPENING CLAIM CONSTRUCTION BRIEF, main document and exhibits – 2,389 pages

I don’t recall if this case is going to be heard just by a judge or by a jury.  If it is going to be heard by just a judge, I feel sorry for that judge, for reading the fillings is going to be MAJOR, MAJOR headache – bring on the Advil, in buckets! If this case is going to be heard by a jury, well, that’s going to be quite interesting, for the jury members are going to be hard-pressed to understand the information presented by the parties.  They, too, will have major headaches. Bring on the Advil, in truckloads!!!  I read through some of the documents, and, while I’ve never considered myself to be the dimmest bulb in the pack, I had great difficult trying to understand any of information set forth in the documents and exhibits.  And, it was in English!
