Caught on the round corners of a dilemma
Authored by: Ian Al on Thursday, September 13 2012 @ 03:31 AM EDT
I think both parties must have already thought that the verdict form was much
too large, already.

I suspect that Apple knew that asking for each issue to be explicitly considered
would not be in their interests. It would encourage the jury to consider the
jury instructions much more carefully and would reduce the chance of the verdict
Apple wanted.

I have no idea whether Google considered the triple damages issue and thought
that the limited verdict form was better for them because of it. Perhaps they
thought that this sort of wilful jury madness was so unlikely that the already
huge verdict form was the best option, anyway.

To revisit prior art on rounded corners
Authored by: Anonymous on Thursday, September 13 2012 @ 09:21 AM EDT
Coach and bus design has been using fully rounded corners for the best part of a
century and it has been a long time since they were introduced to aircraft and
submarines.
