I think it's simple to give the judge the benefit of the doubt.
Novel's case rests on a bunch of things the judge doesn't understand. Since he
doesn't understand them, he thinks they are unimportant little nits and just
ignores them. So trying to understand the difference between a program written
for the win16 ABI and one written for win32 ABI is impossibly for him. To him
it's like trying to tell the difference between 1+3 and 2+2. They are both 4,
so they are the same.
Microsoft has the luxury of just saying simple things the judge can understand.
He probably thinks that Novel's attorneys were trying to pull a fast one since
they kept saying things that didn't make sense to him, like 1+3 isn't the same
as 2+2. So he's even less likely to believe anything they are saying.
If Novel is going to have a chance at this, they either need a very technically
savvy judge, or one that picks at every nit until it's beaten into the ground by
good neutral experts.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Unless this judge is totally incompetent or maybe he wants to force
this to the supreme court for a decision that may stop the flood of patent
lawsuits.
This case is about anti-trust issues. It has nothing to
do with patents. How could this case spawn a supreme court decision that would
stop the current flood of patent lawsuits?[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
