This could go either way for apple, ultimate up to the matter
of whether the judge who handles the appeal a: cares, b:
agrees with apple, or c: disagrees with apple.

Sadly, none of that has to do with actual disputes of any
findings of facts in this case.

It's the Federal Circuit...
Authored by: Anonymous on Thursday, December 20 2012 @ 07:47 PM EST
If you thought district courts bent over for stupid, shouldn't-have-been-
issued patents, you ain't seen nothing yet. Federal Circuit makes up its own
radically-pro-patent rules as it goes.

They could win this.

Corporate responsibility?
Authored by: kg on Thursday, December 20 2012 @ 08:54 PM EST
From the viewpoint of corporate responsibility, it may be that
Apple could found negligent if they do not pursue these cases,
regardless of whether the patents are being challenged or not.
At any rate, the whole idea of creating shareholder value and
acting in the shareholders' best interest seems to be designed
to create endless court cases, and place the responsibility
for equitable outcomes in the hands of the courts.
