The Foreman's Aha Moment in Apple v. Samsung Was Based on Misunderstanding Prior Art ~pj - Updated
Authored by: Anonymous on Friday, August 31 2012 @ 09:27 PM EDT
There is a reason why almost no lawyer worth his salt will allow another lawyer
to make it through jury selection. Too much opportunity for the default
"expert" hijacking the deliberations and doing whatever he pleases.

Here, it looks like the foreman designated himself "expert" in
patents, decided to strike a blow for all patent holders, and reinterpret IP law
to strike terror in the hearts of all perceived infringers. Especially telling
is that he (a) now is changing his story yet even digging himself a deeper hole
and (b) came up with his new legal standard on prior art only when he saw Apple
was going to lose.
