we have two things going on at the moment across all of US
courts with respect to technology, and I hope people notice.
1: initial trials don't seem to do much, the only thing
large companies go for is injunctions/shutting down
competition. Basically, since they can't shut down a
competitor with threats, they try to do it through courts.
Apple, MS, etc.
2: everything else then rests on appeal, except when it hits
the federal appeals court, which every IP lawyer prays for
while everyone else in the world prays against (thanks for
making a pro patent rocket docket in the appeals circuit,
terrible judges). Then you have the supremes, which can fix
a lot of stuff - but they are absolutely not willing to
"Rock the boat" on anything if it can be avoided - much like
most justices, so basically what we have is a pretty big
travesty of justice in the courts if the initial ruling is
anything other than a good/correct decision.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
