It's hard to say there's a preponderance of evidence for
infringement if you don't know what infringement is. And I'm
fairly sure the presumption is still non-infringement - the
plaintiff has to prove guilt, not the other way around.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

... ok, how's this:
Did Oracle prove the defendant's product practices
Claim X?
Hmm... Since I don't understand Claim X... I can't see how
Oracle proved that so: No!
Seems like a "default in favor of defense"
situation to me.

Presumption of innocence (and the associated concept of burden of proof) still
applies in a civil case. It's true that the standard for that burden shifts
from "beyond reasonable doubt" to "preponderance of the
evidence", but that doesn't remove the underlying presumption of
innocence.
If you can only present evidence whose meaning and relevance is completely
unclear, I don't think you have a case.
