The '711 patent is garbage
Authored by: Anonymous on Friday, August 24 2012 @ 11:04 PM EDT
"on a mobile device" does not make something that was both common and
obvious long ago patentable again. This is a *2005* patent on multitasking.
No, it's not valid, but it got past the USPTO because - as usual - it's
unreadable garbage. What they actually have a patent on is a specific and
convoluted process for background playback - NOT background playback of music in
general.

There's a Verdict in Apple v. Samsung ~pj - Yes, Samsung Infringes - Damages $1,051,855,000

The jury had already made up its collective "mind" before it
went into the courtroom. That's why, according to the
foreman, they didn't need the jury instructions. It was a
kangaroo court from start to finish. My faith in justice in
this country just took another gigantic hit. Justice does not
exist in our corrupt court rooms. End of story.
