I have to believe that Van Nest et al knew these issues but had no time to
present. Agreed, 104 is a slam dunk without the arguments you state. Oracle made
sure that Google had to cover multiple bases and here we are. Still a possible
hung jury. Then 104 goes away for next time.

Google did a really bad job with defense on the patents
Authored by: Anonymous on Monday, May 21 2012 @ 04:53 PM EDT
It feels like they missed making the point (assuming its
true) that in this context dynamic means the resolution
happens every time the code runs. Static means its done
once and every execution after that it doesn't have to be
done again.

The confusion is that the oracle dynamic variant here makes
the optimisation whenever the code first references the
symbol(s) but doesn't have to do it again whilst the code is
running. If the app stops or is restarted you're back to
square one.

The dexopt model runs once at install time. After that -
even if you turn the box off it doesn't have to run again.

(Another correspondent made this point a while back but I
haven't seen it raised in the transcripts.)

On the contrary!
Google defense was great and Oracle sounded mumbled.
Oracle has to prove the claim and any wrench thrown in the wheels by google is
fair game in the court.
Ordinary people don't get much of the patents anyways, it's just the show put up
that counts for them.

Google did respond to that accusation. Review the
closings.

On the '520 patent, they did a better job, but they should have pushed home the point that simulation requires that feeding in different but equivalent inputs requires getting the same output, but pattern matching does not. Then asked why dexopt failed in the tests with tweaked input.
I'm pretty sure I saw that exact argument put forward by Google. Perhaps they didn't stress it enough, because as you note - that is a clear and definitive proof against simulation.

Sorry bud, but it would take weeks to explain that properly to a jury.

I'm beginning to feel we need to go to an experts panel type system for highly
technical cases.
