If they revered and remanded, how is the appeal ongoing?
Authored by: Anonymous on Friday, October 12 2012 @ 10:51 AM EDT
Afaict it's only the order banning sale of the Nexus that was reversed. The stuff that is still the subject of the appeal (all the goodies in the 'Likelihood of Success' bit) haven't been reversed - never mind revered - but apparently aren't likely to survive the appeal.
I think the only think appealed was the order. The "'Likelihood of Success' bit" was just part of the rationale for the order. That became moot when Federal Circuit Court decided that the patent wasn't necessarily relevant to people choosing to buy the phone.

I think I understand the "judicial economy" part. The trial next year will involve whether or not Samsung violated the patent. The court will need to make sure that Apple doesn't misrepresent what the patent means, as they did in this appeal. Otherwise, Samsung would just appeal the results and the appeals court would have to overturn the jury's verdict.

I suspect it's the Appeals Court saying to the judge "That there was enough for the R&R, but we noticed this other major error you made. Just to be clear: it's an error. We expect you not to make it this time around, and we'll be really unhappy if you waste our time on another R&R.".
