My best insight re: the four oral arguments the Federal Circuit heard in the $NEON /Samsung/Apple/Google appeals is that the cases are complicated and close calls for the panel: news.bloomberglaw.com/ip-law/samsung…

That’s right. The fed circuit has now affirmed the three PTAB decisions which collectively invalidated one $NEON patent and leaves alive the ‘879 patent

However the ‘879 patent was separately invalidated by Judge Albright and that Neonode appeal is still pending. The lawsuit against Samsung lives or dies based on the coming decision

Judge Albright’s indefiniteness ruling in $NEON v Samsung is reversed, which means its WDTX suit is back on cafc.uscourts.gov/opinions-order…

As noted here, Samsung and Neonode reached a settlement. The Apple case is paused until the Samsung case is finalized which could be another 30 days. Neonode stock is up sharply on the news. news.bloomberglaw.com/ip-law/samsung…
