This isn't something we need to take personally. Judges make good decisions
and bad ones. The battle to limit the damage software patents can do, and
ultimately abolish them, is not about personalities, karma and comeuppance.
It's about preventing perverse and unjust consequences in the future.
When the Supreme Court eventually are forced to bring down the hammer and
declare explicitly that algorithms expressed in software are not patentable
subject matter, lesser judges no matter how pro-patent will abide by the
decision and have one more reason to throw bogus and frivolous litigants out
of their courts. I'm sure they will relish that, however much they would have
previously taken such plaintiffs seriously before.
