“I think it is clear, the claimant recognized that the concept of SMS texting to purchase lottery tickets or Boledo does not belong to him; that is what the intellectual property is required for and the design are different, So we feel that we are in a comfortable place at the end of the hearing. We have some more submissions to make and it won’t be conclude until February. So I can’t say with any certainty how this case will go but we are very comfortable where we are now.”
