He claims that the instructions given were that the prior art and the patent must be "interchangeable". There is no such word in the jury instructions.

Yes there is. It's part of Instruction No. 27 on the "Doctrine of Equivalents", the last paragraph. Mr. Hogan has completely misunderstood this as it does not apply to prior art. It's one of the paragraphs that could take a few days to understand just of itself.

I posted earlier on this but I guess you missed it

The Foreman's Aha Moment in Apple v. Samsung Was Based on Misunderstanding Prior Art - Updat
Authored by: Anonymous on Friday, August 31 2012 @ 01:40 PM EDT
Is the basic question why patent/copyright plaintiffs always want to have jury
trials? They seem to disfavor bench trials.

Apple wants to bias competition, and this result buys them time that way and
time is money. Oracle tried its shot at Google. Firms buy up patent pools to
have dueling patents.

The pattern seems to be sue and hope. What's to lose, by trying? Sometimes the
windshield, sometimes the bug. But at a guess, jury trials give plaintiffs a
greater probability of winning. Winning is not an important thing, it is the
only thing.
