Have you read Robinson v. Monsanto?

Authored by: Anonymous on Saturday, October 20 2012 @ 10:42 PM EDT

Please do. (This seems to be the main case Apple is using against Samsung's
belated finding out about Hogan.) It about made me sick to my stomach reading it
- it looks like a horrible outcome to me (individual v. BigCo, has a good case
but gets steamrollered by massive money, and then the outcome becomes
precedent.)

It's a 2nd circuit decision from clear back in '85, and I don't know if there's
newer stuff which would overrule (I would think there has to be, or we'd never
hear of a jury verdict being thrown out for any cause). But, to me, it really
looks like a bad result; and it does pretty plainly come out to "oh, you
didn't read the juror's mind, too bad for you, you lose the game".

So I would like to have someone else read it and comment, 'cause I (not being a
lawyer) probably am not getting all the nuances.
