My non-lawyerish impression[*] is that the judge wasn't willing to allow a
discussion of the patent validity in his court, since the USPTO was conducting a
review. (This is prejudicial to Google, BUT he also summarily dismissed all of
Oracle's other actual and potential patent infringement cases. Something like
"Yes, you may only actually essay to assay the tip of the iceberg, and I'm
going to assume that the rest of it is ice all the way down.")
[*] I hesitate to use the word "understanding" in this context.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
