On Oct 13-14, Judge Ware will hear Acacia's proposal for a class action lawsuit against all websites that have video.
The class is defined by those that are required to carry a 2257 statement.. so that means all the adult biz with video.
Most likely, the judge will deny that motion because it's way to cumbersome to manage a class action, especially since in the Markman order, he alluded that the defendants will probably be found non-infringing of the patent, due to him saying twice in the document, that the defendants should file for summary judgement.
In talking with a couple of patent attorneys, it is rare that a judge does that.
The next court action is first week of Dec where the judge will hear the defendants motion to file for summary judgement.
I believe this will be granted, which means court dates in first quarter 2005 to get to eventual non-infringement verdict.
