Bioprogress is a stock I have been in and out of quite a few times since it floated in May but not much mention here on the Investors' Room. Does anyone else follow this stock. I see it is up 1.5p today and a few good buyers seem to have appeared.

This could be behind some of the SP improvement. Could also give the share a little more upward momentum.

Court 74 11 until 4

Talks all weekend to reach settlement

Started with further talks in seperate room

No agreement reached

Stanelco appealing patent ownership, breach and prior art evidence application

Mlller went first dealing in the above order in his hesitating style

Discussion around capsule definition, unlikely to include sachets, based upon how formed

Core inventive concept challenged on grounds of how rather than idea of

Judges advocate settlement, mention of several years of litigation

Miller continues Tue

Impossible to call it at this stage

Will post on both threads to assist debate

I hope we settle with Stanelco to avoid this dragging on and on as it is more important to us than it is them in terms of core business.

cannot understand the lack of posts, where is everybody ? (235 posts on advfn today)
last day of cc ?
someone must have something ?

We are all waiting (nervously) for the outcome of the cc, sp raising meantime

lol
I think you will find most posts are on the SEO thread, the usual BS about how SEO will conquer the world, and the usual outrage If someone says it won`t.The share price reveals the court case progress

All quite on the western front by the close

I have been out all day so just catching up - found this account on another thread courtesy of Schull69 - seems to play a straight bat

All:cc.a short post as I have to go out soon so just fact:the Court ended at 3.20 with the judges urging that the talks between the two sides,which were going on all day today we were told,should continue so that they can come to an agreement which is beneficial to both.Jacob said that the three judges will hold off starting coming to judgement until Monday ,but this process will start if they haven't heard up until that time that the two sides have come to an agreement.It was clear that if an agreement isn't arrived at there could be "years of litigation".He made his point strongly and Miller said he would continue to urge this on his clients.I can't recall Baldwin echoing this in as strong terms but he didn't disagree.The judges'recommendation for on-going talks should not be construed as pointing in any way to what their final judgement would be....I've got no idea on that.

I've got no inside track on how things could go so I wont waste your time with my speculations.

Having attended all 4 days of the appeal (which finished this afternoon), I can tell you that the parties are trying very hard to settle out of court. At the end of the trial, the Lord Justices were told that they would hear by Monday if a settlement had been reached, and that if no settlement had been reached by then, then one was unlikely thereafter.
LJ Jacob made it clear that irrespective of the appeal result, many years of difficult litigation and sorting out of the patents lay ahead. Much better to concentrate on commercialisation to the benefit of both parties now, than wait another two years by which time a competitor could have emerged with a rival technology.

I won't comment too much on the appeal itself. Suffice to say that I think entitlement is likely to remain with BPRG with claims 6 and 7 of Patent 1 possibly going to them as well. Patents 2 and 3 could end up in joint ownership instead of solely with SEO as at present. Neither do I think that SEO will succeed in getting the prior art admitted to the case.

However, I beleive there is some chance that the breach of confidence finding in the original trial could be overturned. SEO were strongest on this, and don't forget, the original trial Judge wavered on this himself, before deciding in favour of BPRG.

If there is no settlement, I would have thought a jugdement will follow fairly quickly, say within a month.

Those are my thoughts. I'm no lawyer, so feel free to completely ignore them! But keep an eye open for a settlement RNS next week. I'm pretty confident we'll see one!!

Some body has a little faith in this share.
