I admire that expert's always upbeat opinion

The jury's decision can be appealed, I think.

No. I think everything
Authored by: Anonymous on Wednesday, June 20 2012 @ 06:28 PM EDT
Wikipedia:
Although the Federal Circuit typically hears all appeals from any of the United States district courts where the original action included a complaint arising under the patent laws...
28 USC § 1295 - - Jurisdiction of the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit:
(a) The United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit shall have exclusive jurisdiction—

(1) of an appeal from a final decision of a district court of the United States, the United States District Court for the District of the Canal Zone, the District Court of Guam, the District Court of the Virgin Islands, or the District Court for the Northern Mariana Islands, if the jurisdiction of that court was based, in whole or in part, on section 1338 of this title, except that a case involving a claim arising under any Act of Congress relating to copyrights, exclusive rights in mask works, or trademarks and no other claims under section 1338 (a) shall be governed by sections 1291, 1292, and 1294 of this title....
I think both mean that if the original case had anything to do with patents, the Federal Circuit CoA gets the whole thing. You don't split it and appeal different parts to different places.

For the second link, make sure you are looking on the "US Code" tab.

I would expect everything to be appealed
Authored by: Anonymous on Wednesday, June 20 2012 @ 08:45 PM EDT

Aside from your point (and I agree with the people above who pointed out why it would go the the Federal Circuit), what makes you think they wouldn't appeal the patent verdict? Juries find facts, which can be overturned (though with some difficulty), but more importantly all the judge's legal determinations (such as claim construction) can be reviewed de novo.

Not that I am rooting for them, but Oracle would be silly not to appeal all of their losses if they appeal any of them. I expect Google to appeal any of their losses just as vigorously. They're clearly both in this to win.
